Abstract:
March 1,
1984,
was the 30th anniversary of the Bravo
thermonuclear test that resulted in the accidental exposure of the
populations of Rongelap and Utirik atolls to radioactive fallout. The
chronicling of the medical events resulting from that exposure is
continued in this report, which covers the period from January 1983
through December 1984. An updated listing of all relevant publications
from the Medical Department Brookhaven National Laboratory, is
presented in the Reference Section. Thirty years of observation
continue to show no detectable increase in mortality in the exposed
population as a result of that exposure. The survival curves of the
high-exposure Rongelap group, the low-exposure Utirik population, and
an unexposed group of Rongelap people matched by age and sex to the
exposed Rongelap group in 1957 continue to be similar. 89 refs., 2
figs., 6 tabs.
