^aIn May 1946, Rongelap population was evacuated temporarily to Lae Atoll, where no exposure occurred. On 3 March 1954, following the Bravo test, the population was evacuated from Rongelap Island (~H+51 h) to Kwajalein where they remained until ~5 May 1954 at which time they moved to Majuro. In June, 1957, the population returned to Rongelap where they remained until 1985, after which they moved to Kwajalein and Majuro.

^bGroup of 18 Rongelap Island community members visiting Ailinginae at the time of the Bravo test on 1 March 1954. They were assumed lo be on Rongelap prior to the Bravo test. The group was evacuated from Alinginae on 3 March 1954, (~H+51 h) to Kwajalein. They returned to Rongelap in 1957 with rest of Rongelap Island community.

^cGroup of approximately 117 members of the Rongelap Island community who were absent from Rongelap at the time of Bravo. They were assumed to be on Majuro and to have remained there until 1957 when they rejoined the rest of the community. The term “control” group was derived from Brookhaven National Laboratory reports (BNL 1958).

^dTwenty-eight U.S. military weather observers were stationed on Eniwetak Island. Rongerik Atoll prior to Bravo; they were evacuated on 3 March 1954, and did not return.

^eFollowing deposition of Bravo fallout, on 3 March 1954 (~H+67 h), the Utrik population was evacuated to Kwajalein; they returned 2 June 1954.

^fThe Bikini people were evacuated to Rongerik in March, 1946. In March, 1947, they were moved from Rongerik to Kwajalein. In early November, 1948, they were moved to Kili Island where most still live today.

^gIn December 1947, the Enewetak community was moved to Ujelang. In 1980, some returned to Enewetak.
