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.
In the future, surveys will be semiannual in view of the
improving medical care by Marshall Island Health Service under the direction of
the Seventh Day Adventists (SDA) and the impending impiementation of the Burton
Bill.
In the event that either or both fail to perform as expected, it will be
necessary to revert to quarterly surveys.
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
C
population of growth impairment in some exposed children,
thyroid lesions,
case of acute leukemia.
