She was among the first group who came to Costa Mesa, which became the first Marshallese community in the U.S. Over the years, thousands of Marshallese followed her to America, uprooted and displaced by the U.S. nuclear testing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, there are more than 23,000 Marshallese living in the U.S., \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3902543/A-Community-of-Contrasts-NHPI-CA-2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">and about 2,000 in California.\u003c/a> They were able to come because of an agreement made between the Marshall Islands and the U.S. -- the \u003ca href=\"http://uscompact.org/about/cofa.php\">Compact of Free Association\u003c/a>. The Compact allows Marshallese to work and live freely on U.S. soil for as long as they want, but does not convey citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Briand originally planned to return to the Marshall Islands after she got her degree. But one reason she stayed was the health issues in her community. She wanted to help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You go to everybody's home, every home has a person sick -- or two -- with diabetes, cancer, heart disease,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the effects of the radiation and fallout may extend even farther. According to researchers, it’s possible that the radiation from the nuclear weapons tests \u003ca href=\"http://dels.nas.edu/resources/static-assets/materials-based-on-reports/reports-in-brief/beir_vii_final.pdf\">can cause genetic damage\u003c/a> that can be inherited. The possibility haunts Greta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I don’t have it, my grandkids ...,” she breaks off tearfully. “My grandkids -- or my great-grandkids -- might have cancer. And it just breaks my heart. But that's why we got to live each day, because you know we don't know what will happen tomorrow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11599024\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11599024\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/BriandFuneral-800x975.jpg\" alt=\"Greta Briand attends a Marshallese funeral and scatters dirt over a grave.

At that time, the nuclear arms race was heating up and the U.S. needed a place, far from the populated mainland, to test bigger and more destructive nuclear weapons. Some of the 67 nuclear weapons tested in the Marshall Islands were detonated underwater, and some were dropped from airplanes. Some of the islands were completely destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Briand was 5, she witnessed the largest and most radioactive of these bombs from her home island of Likiep. It was called \u003ca href=\"http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/nukevault/ebb459/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Castle Bravo \u003c/a>and it had a nuclear force equivalent to 1,000 times the force of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"lNX7qsQ8QEPRGkn5Tily0XyQahdDkc3H\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was like, the sky was beautiful with orange color,\" Briand says. “And we thought it was something beautiful. We didn't know it was poison!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the detonation, dangerous clouds of radioactive, pulverized coral dust drifted across her island, coating homes and people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Briand isn’t alone. Castle Bravo remains the most remembered bomb test on the islands -- and everyone received documented levels of fallout from the blast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kon Kon Wasay, 82, was a teenager when she saw the bomb. She remembers that she was outside playing with six other girls and one boy. “All of a sudden, we hear this loud noise and it looked like something evaporating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afterward, her friends all got sick.

She was among the first group who came to Costa Mesa, which became the first Marshallese community in the U.S. Over the years, thousands of Marshallese followed her to America, uprooted and displaced by the U.S. nuclear testing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, there are more than 23,000 Marshallese living in the U.S., \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3902543/A-Community-of-Contrasts-NHPI-CA-2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">and about 2,000 in California.\u003c/a> They were able to come because of an agreement made between the Marshall Islands and the U.S. -- the \u003ca href=\"http://uscompact.org/about/cofa.php\">Compact of Free Association\u003c/a>. The Compact allows Marshallese to work and live freely on U.S. soil for as long as they want, but does not convey citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Briand originally planned to return to the Marshall Islands after she got her degree. But one reason she stayed was the health issues in her community. She wanted to help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You go to everybody's home, every home has a person sick -- or two -- with diabetes, cancer, heart disease,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the effects of the radiation and fallout may extend even farther. According to researchers, it’s possible that the radiation from the nuclear weapons tests \u003ca href=\"http://dels.nas.edu/resources/static-assets/materials-based-on-reports/reports-in-brief/beir_vii_final.pdf\">can cause genetic damage\u003c/a> that can be inherited. The possibility haunts Greta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I don’t have it, my grandkids ...,” she breaks off tearfully. “My grandkids -- or my great-grandkids -- might have cancer. And it just breaks my heart.

At that time, the nuclear arms race was heating up and the U.S. needed a place, far from the populated mainland, to test bigger and more destructive nuclear weapons. Some of the 67 nuclear weapons tested in the Marshall Islands were detonated underwater, and some were dropped from airplanes. Some of the islands were completely destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Briand was 5, she witnessed the largest and most radioactive of these bombs from her home island of Likiep. It was called \u003ca href=\"http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/nukevault/ebb459/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Castle Bravo \u003c/a>and it had a nuclear force equivalent to 1,000 times the force of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was like, the sky was beautiful with orange color,\" Briand says. “And we thought it was something beautiful. We didn't know it was poison!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the detonation, dangerous clouds of radioactive, pulverized coral dust drifted across her island, coating homes and people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Briand isn’t alone. Castle Bravo remains the most remembered bomb test on the islands -- and everyone received documented levels of fallout from the blast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kon Kon Wasay, 82, was a teenager when she saw the bomb. She remembers that she was outside playing with six other girls and one boy. “All of a sudden, we hear this loud noise and it looked like something evaporating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afterward, her friends all got sick.
