18. TASK DESCRIPTION (Approach, relation to work package, in 200 words or jess!
The primary objective is the determination of the life-time effects of
fallout radiation on the Marshallese who were accidentally exposed to radioactive
fallout on March 1, 1954.
Medical Surveys of these people have been conducted at
quarterly intervals, and an unexposed Rongelap population is examined for comparison.
The surveys, carried out jointly by Brookhaven National Laboratory under the auspices
of the Department of Energy, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, are of
great importance in view of the development in this population of growth impairment
in some exposed children, thyroid lesions, and one case of acute leukemia.
