APPENDIX D
This table lists all exposed persons who have had surgery which confirmed a thyroid lesion, their ages at the time of
surgery, the number of years post-exposure that thyroid surgery was performed, and the thyroid-absorbed radiation dose
in cGy. The code for “Nodule type” is: 1 = adenomatous nodule; 2 = adenoma; 3 = occult papillary carcinoma; 4 =
overt carcinoma, In some instances there was a divided opinion as to the pathologic diagnosis; for the purposes of this
table the "more malignant’ diagnosis has been used(i.e., overt carcinoma > occult papillary carcinoma > adenoma >
adenomatous goiter). * represents Rongelap individuals; ** represents Utirik individuals
