Japan And The Marshall Islands
In The Nuclear Age
By Glenn Alcalay

http://www.countercurrents.org/alcalay270311.htm

The unleashed isotopes of concern from the damaged Japanese reactors - Iodine-131, Cesium-137 , Strontium-90 and Plutonium-239 - are well known to the Marshall Islanders living downwind of the testing sites at Bikini and Enewetak atolls in the central Pacific, following sixty-seven A- and H-bombs exploded between 1946-58. In fact, it is precisely these isotopes that continue to haunt the 80,000 Marshallese fifty-three years after the last thermonuclear test in the megaton range shook their pristine coral atolls and contaminated their fragile marine ecosystems

By Maidul Islam
