TIC (Technical Information Center) Country of Origin: United States Country of Publication: United States Abstract: An estimate is made of the radiation dose to the thyroids of Rongelap children following the Bravo event of March 1, 1954. The available experimental data are used to estimate the dose under two alternate assumptions of mode of intake: (1) all of the intake was by inhalation, and (2) all of the intake was by oral ingestion. It is concluded that the most probable dose to the thyroid of a 3- to 4-year-old girl is in the range 700 to 1400 rad.

JMT (DOE contractor) Country of Origin: United States Country of Publication: United States ’ Abstract: In 1954, following detonation of a megaton nuclear device at Bikini, an unfortunate accident occurred owing to an unpredicted shift in winds resulting in exposure to radioactive fallout of 250 Marshallese people, 28 American servicemen on atolls to the east, and 23 Japanese fishermen on their fishing vessel. In this presentation, medical findings in the exposed Marshallese noted over the past 28 years is briefly reviewed with particular emphasis on late effects on the thyroid gland. The Marshallese were too far distant from the detonation for any direct effects, and their exposure was due entirely 9083835
