Natives Reflect After Atomic Fallout on Kwajalein
A Marshallese community on Rongelap and Utirik faces displacement after atomic testing. A March 10 arrival of a top U S medical team and a April survey by Joint Task Force 7 and AEC engineers led to decisions allowing Utirik’s return with supplies and Rongelap’s exile on Ejit for a year.
