Abstract

Environmental iodine 131 (¹³¹I) contamination from atmospheric nuclear bomb tests conducted in Nevada from 1951 to 1958 exposed Americans nationwide to a cumulative dose of 1 to 4 rad to the thyroid gland. This review summarizes the NCI report on this situation and offers information to help health professionals deal with the report's potential 'fallout'.
