                          An orange crab taken from the waters near the Marshall Islands’ Rongelap Atoll bears no outward evidence of the radioactive compounds that pollute its habitat. 
<P>
In the 1940s and ‘50s, the United States conducted a series of nuclear tests in the Bikini Atoll, a ring of Pacific islands. Radioactive fallout still pollutes Rongelap Atoll, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) to the east, but recent studies have found no long-term impact on marine life there.
