The Marshall Islands Medical Program of the Medical Department, Brookhaven National Laboratory, issues these summaries for distribution to institutions and individuals world-wide who are concerned about the adverse medical consequences of radiation exposure in general or, in particular, the plight of the radiation-exposed Marshallese. The exposed Marshallese population originally comprised 64 persons on Rongelap Atoll who received an estimated 190 rads of whole-body external gamma radiation, 18 on Ailingnae Atoll who received 110 rads, and 159 on Utirik Atoll who received 11 rads. In addition, there were 3 fetuses on Rongelap, 1 on Ailingnae, and 8 on Utirik, each of which reveived equivalent whole-body doses. Because of radioiodines in the fallout, the thyroid gland received an additional exposure that was much greater than the whole~body dose, although its magnitude was, in part, a function of age at the time of exposure (Lessard et al., 1985).
