Congress passed a law directing the Veterans Administration to determine whether there were any long-term adverse health effects associated with exposure to ionizing radiation from the detonation of nuclear devices. This book contains the results of an extensive epidemiological study of the mortality of participants compared with a similar group of nonparticipants. Topics of discussion include a breakdown of the study rationale; an overview of other studies of veteran participants in nuclear tests; and descriptions of Operation CROSSROADS, data sources for the study, participant and comparison cohorts, exposure details, mortality ascertainment, and findings and conclusions. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 647 7 Operation Crossroads|c(Marshall Islands :|d1946)|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1709907 650 0 Operation Crossroads, Marshall Islands, 1946|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85094986|xHealth aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh00005598 650 0 Radioactive fallout|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85110599|xHealth aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005598 650 2 Radioactive Fallout|xadverse effects.|0https:// id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011847Q000009 650 2 Neoplasms, Radiation-Induced|xmortality.|0https:// id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D009381Q000401 650 2 Leukemia, Radiation-Induced|xmortality.|0https:// id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D007953Q000401 650 2 Nuclear Warfare.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D009689 650 2 Veterans.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014728 650 7 Radioactive fallout|xHealth aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1087669 650 7 Radioactive fallout.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1087665 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Johnson, J.
