The Rongelapese were irradiated by following three ways;
external irradiation by } -ray,
irradiation.
Brradiation to skin, and internal
The treatments of the injuries due to
XY -ray and
£ -ray irradiation were reasonable.
According to the present knowledge, when the uptake of radioactive iodine is suspected, inorganic iodine, f.e. Nal 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 NaI containing 200 mg
of stable iodine at that time, uptake of radioactive iodine might not
have been much reduced.
