Abstract
BACKGROUND: A study was begun in 1965 to 1966 to determine whether
children exposed to radioactive iodine from nuclear weapons testing
at the Nevada Test Site from 1951 through 1962 were at higher risk
of thyroid disease. In 1993, we reported that among those examined
in 1985 to 1986 (Phase II) there was an association between
radiation from the Nevada Test Site and thyroid neoplasms.'
