A summary is presented of results of medical examinations of inhabitants
of the Marshall Islands during the 20-year period following the exposure of
Rongelap people to radioactive fallout in 1954. The initial effect observed
was $beta$ burns of the skin of some individuals. Few significant findings
were observed during the subsequent 9-year period, although an increase in
miscarriages and stillbirths among the exposed women was noted. In 1963
some thyroid abnormalities and growth retardation of some children were
noted. (177 references). (CH)

A research program to study the ground water on several of the islets in
the Enewetak Atoll is being conducted jointly by Lawrence Livermore
Laboratory and the University of Hawaii under the sponsorship of ERDA
Division of Biology and Environmental Research. The purpose is to provide
data characterizing the ground water for possible use by returning
