The Rongelapese were irradiated by following three ways; external irradiation by J -ray, irradiation, B-radiation to skin, and internal The treatments of the injuries due to J -ray and B -ray irradiation were reasonable. According to the present knowledge, when the uptake of radioactive iodine is suspected, inorganic iodine, f.e. NaI should be given to the suspicious patients as soon after irradiation as possible. The Rongelapese were evacuated about 2 days after the initial exposure. Even if these people had been given a dose of Nal containing 200 mg of stable iodine at that time, uptake of radioactive iodine might not have been much reduced. 215
