Parts of the Marshall Islands -- where the US tested nuclear bombs during the Cold War -- are more radioactive than Chernobyl and Fukushima

Radiation levels across parts of the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean, where the United States tested nuclear bombs during the Cold War, are higher than areas contaminated by the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear disasters, new research suggests.

From 1946 to 1958, the US government conducted 67 nuclear tests on several small islands -- called atolls -- in the Marshall Islands. The US government relocated entire populations and exposed others to cancer and disease-causing radiation.
