Do you do you do. The impacts of 12 years of nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands included increased rates of thyroid and other cancers and the permanent exile of people from their home islands.

In 1986 as part of a deal to give the Marshall Islands independence, the U.S. paid $150 million. Later, an independent tribunal ordered more than $2 billion

to victims of the testing program. Less than $ 4 million was ever paid. The tribunal office in the capital

Marguero is no longer operating, with most claims unresolved, sitting in files gathering dust.

The US government policy on the nuclear weapons legacy in the Marshall Islands is to simply downgrade and dismiss health

hazards as non-existent or insignificant.

Giff Johnson is the publisher of the Marshall Islands Journal, the country's only newspaper.

For three decades he's been a passionate advocate for the local people.

His wife, Darlene Kaju, was a famous nuclear

survivor and Marshallese leader, who died of cancer, aged just 45.

It really makes us wonder if Marshall Islanders will ever get justice from the

nuclear weapons tests that were conducted here and justice is the right word. It's really important to understand

that a lot of nuclear contaminated material was tossed into a crater left over from a bomb test, a coral atoll essentially, and a coral atoll by its nature is porous.

When the U.S. was getting ready to clean up and leave in the late 1970s, they picked the

pit that had been left by one of the smaller atomic explosions and dumped a lot of this plutonium and other radioactive waste into the pit and covered it over with an 18 inch thick dome and left.

That dome lies 1100 kilometers to the west of the capital, Marguero.

Like Bikini Atoll, this place is deemed too hot in radioactive terms for human habitation.

People in the United States would not tolerate something like this in their own backyard right now,
