This volume reprints The Rongelap Report, an expert witness report submitted to the Republic of the Marshall Islands Nuclear Claims Tribunal as key evidence for the Tribunal's 2001 hearing on hardship, pain, suffering, and consequential damages experienced by the people of Rongelap, Rongerik, and Ailinginae atolls from the US nuclear weapons testing program. The report presents evidence supporting recompensation claims for: social, cultural, economic, and political hardships and injuries as result of the loss of the material basis for sustaining health and self-sufficiency due to involuntary relocation and extensive contamination of terrestrial and marine resources; psychosocial stigmatization, pain, and suffering as a result of acute and long-term exposures to nuclear fallout; and pain and suffering as a result of the involvement of the people of Rongelap in long-term studies on the effects of radiation and their use as human subjects in a range of US government experiments disconnected from individual health and treatment needs.

The hydrogen test-bomb Bravo, dropped on the Marshall Islands in 1954, had enormous consequences for the Rongelap people. Anthropologists Barbara Rose Johnston and Holly Barker provide incontrovertible evidence of physical and financial damages to individuals and cultural and psycho-social damages to the community through use of declassified government documents, oral histories and ethnographic research, conducted with the Marshallese community within a unique collaborative framework. Their work helped produce a $1 billion award by the Nuclear Claims Tribunal and raises issues of bioethics, government secrecy, human rights, military testing, and academic activism. The report, reproduced here with accompanying materials, should be read by everyone concerned with the effects of nuclear war and is an essential text for courses in history, environmental studies, bioethics, human rights, and related subjects.


The hydrogen test-bomb Bravo, dropped on the Marshall Islands in 1954, was one of scores of cold-war nuclear tests that blanketed the nation with fallout. Johnston and Barker reveal the horrific history of human rights violations endured by the Marshallese, as well as their long struggle for reparations.
