The Legacy of U.S. Nuclear Testing in the Marshall Islands
This study is the first comprehensive analysis of official documents from US military data, scientific analyses, and medical sources from 1945 to the present. It shows that all inhabited atolls were radioactively contaminated – yet only three of the 24 currently inhabited atolls received medical assistance. The US nuclear bomb tests left lasting damage in the Marshall Islands, even on the so-called "low-contaminated atolls."
