I see your confusion. The "inhabitants" in the video don't live on Bikini. They live on Rongelap Atoll - roughly 100 miles away.
Quote:
1946: United States Navy evacuates Bikini Atoll Islanders prior to nuclear weapons tests.
March 1, 1954: United States detonates 15-megaton hydrogen bomb (Castle Bravo test) unaware that fallout will reach Rongelap.
March 3, 1954: US evacuates Rongelap inhabitants to Kwajalein Atoll. Islanders have vomiting, diarrhea, skin burns, and some later experience hair loss.
1955-1957: Internally displaced Rongelapese inhabitants repeatedly request permission from the US Government to return to their atoll.
1957: Atomic Energy Commission declares Rongelap safe for re-habitation. US scientists note: "The habitation of these people on the island will afford most valuable ecological radiation data on human beings."[5]
1958: Rates of Rongelap miscarriages and stillbirths twice the rate of unexposed women. [6]
1963: First thyroid tumors begin to appear.
1971: Independent Japanese medical team invited by Rongelap magistrate denied permission[who?]to visit by US citing "visa problems."
1976: Report finds 69% of Rongelap children who were under 10 in 1954 have developed thyroid tumors.[citation needed]
1984: Marshall Islands senator Jeton Anjain requests evacuation assistance from Greenpeace.
1985: Rainbow Warrior makes three trips to evacuate the Rongelap community to Majetto and Ebeye islands in Kwajalein Atoll.
1986: Nuclear test compensation approved,[who?] setting aside a $US150 million trust fund.
1989: United States Department of Energy determines Rongelap safe for habitation.
1994: Independent scientific study[who?]finds that depending on dietary restrictions, 25 to 75% of Rongelap population would exceed the 100 mrem maximum annual exposure limit set.
2000: Marshall Islands government submits Change of Circumstances petition asking for significantly more compensation than the $US150m.
2005: Bush Administration determines it has no legal responsibility to provide additional nuclear test compensation.
2007: The Nuclear Claims Tribunal awards Rongelap more than $1 billion as fair damages for its land damage claim, however, since the $US150m trust fund is almost completely depleted this compensation can never be paid.[clarification needed]
2009: United States government reasserts its position that it has satisfactorily compensated Rongelap victims.
