Five decades after a series of nuclear tests began, we provide
evidence that 70% of the Bikini Atoll zooxanthellate coral
assemblage is resilient to large-scale anthropogenic disturbance.
Species composition in 2002 was assessed and compared to that seen
prior to nuclear testing. A total of 183 scleractinian coral
species was recorded, compared to 126 species recorded in the
previous study (excluding synonomies, 148 including synonomies). We
found that 42 coral species may be locally extinct at Bikini.
Fourteen of these losses may be pseudo-losses due to inconsistent
taxonomy between the two studies or insufficient sampling in the
second study, however 28 species appear to represent genuine
losses. Of these losses, 16 species are obligate lagoonal
specialists and 12 have wider habitat compatibility. Twelve species
are recorded from Bikini for the first time. We suggest the highly
diverse Rongelap Atoll to the east of Bikini may have contributed
larval propagules to facilitate the partial resilience of coral
biodiversity in the absence of additional anthropogenic
threats.'

Radiation Dose Assessment for Military Personnel of the Enewetak
Atoll Cleanup Project (1977–1980)
During 1977–1980, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)
conducted a radiological clean-up of Enewetak Atoll. The Enewetak
Atoll Cleanup Project (ECUP) was carried out by a Joint Task Group
established by the Defense Nuclear Agency, and involved the
cumulative participation of approximately 6,000 military service
members.

Abstract—Prior to December 1993, tbe explosive yields of 44
of 66 nuclear tests conducted by tbe United States in tbe Marshall
Islands were still classified. Following a request from tbe
Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands to the U.S.
Department of Energy to release this information, the Secretary of
Energy declassified and released to the public the explosive yields
of the Pacific nuclear tests. This paper presents a synopsis of
information on nuclear test detonations in the Marshall Islands and
other locations in the mid-Pacific including dates, explosive
yields, locations, weapon placement, and summary statistics.
