US study finds H-bomb tests still causing cancer in Marshalls 50
years on
A US study has found that the number of cancers caused by hydrogen
bomb testing in the Marshall Islands is set to double, more than
half a century after the tests were conducted in the tiny Pacific
nation.
The study by the US government^1s National Cancer Institute (NCI)
estimated 530 cancers had already been caused by the tests,
particularly the explosion of a 15 megaton hydrogen bomb codenamed
Bravo on March 1, 1954.
It said another 500 cancers were likely to develop among Marshall
Islanders who were exposed to radiation more than 50 years ago.
"We estimate that the nuclear testing program in the Marshall
Islands will cause about 500 additional cancer cases among
Marshallese exposed during the years 1946-1958, about a nine
percent increase over the number of cancers expected in the absence
of exposure to regional fallout," the NCI study said.
