Here is a question:
When the testings were going on during that time period, did we know all the effects of radiation exposure as we do today?

Rayon William, a Rongelap Islander, said she returned home with other islanders when US authorities said it was safe in 1957. But she said the food she ate then was laced with radioactivity from the test three years earlier.

The testings were not only used to gauge and measure yields but perhaps to determine the effects (fall out radius, radiation levels, etc.) of those yields. I do believe that the Russia (the USSR at the time) did alot of the identical test after they acquired an atomic/nuclear device in 1949.

My reason for asking is not to excuse what happened or took place or to down grade what the survivors of these horrific tests are implying, but merely to wonder if even the government was fully aware of what I have asked.
