Dear Ms. Martha DeMarre,
Our research group in the Radiation Epidemiology Branch recently completed thefirst
comprehensive reconstruction of radiation doses and estimation of cancer risks to the population
ofthe Marshall Islands exposed to radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons testing. The work
was primarily undertaken to satisfy a request from the U.S. Congress though webelieve it is
interesting and potentially useful to the broad audience ofprofessionals interested in radiation
and health.
The methods and findings ofour analyses were published in Health Physics in August 2010. We
believe that you might be interested in these publications and we have enclosed a copy of the
issue for you. We hope youfind this publication interesting.
Best regards,
Sohn LS i.
