Incorporated of Long Island, New York. A second, much more comprehensive report entitled "Some Effects of Ionizing Radiation on Human Beings," was published in July, 1956, by the United States Atomic Energy Commission. Thereafter, the major data published on the people of Rongelap and Utirik was the result of surveys, conducted by Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). published after three years (March 1957), (one report covering 1959-60), seven years four years (1961), (1958), The reports were five and six years eight years (1962), nine and ten years (one report covering 1963-64), eleven and twleve years (one report covering 1965-66), and thirteen, fourteen and fifteen years (one report covering 1967, 1968, 1969). (The report covering the years 1970-1972 will be published sometime during 1973.) Contained in the reports are descriptions of the annual surveys and general findings of the doctors who accompanied the team. A great number of articles have also been published in journals and periodicals by participating doctors as a result of their findings in examinations. From the first year report, to the most recent BNL report, the size, sophistication and scope of the examinations and findings have increased greatly. In gross terms, this can be seen by an increase in the number of pages, from 12 in the twelve-month report to 128 in the latest report, which, of course, includes the results of three annual examinations and numerous appendices. More specifically, the first report considered general physical conditions, with special emphasis on effects on the skin, blood, and eyes of the irradiated Marshallese. The 1969 report, however, gives a description of general medical findings from physical examinations, and then very detailed descriptions of examinations and findings in the following areas: ophthalmological (eye), thyroid, aging, blood (both chemical factors and chromosome aberrations) as [O14b41 *°
