Ex-fishermen to file suit over Bikini Atoll hydrogen tests

Plaintiffs meet in the southwestern Japan city of Kochi on May 9, 2016, before filing a damages suit in connection with the 1954 U.S. hydrogen bomb tests on Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The former fishermen operating in the surrounding ocean area at that time claimed they could not seek compensation from the United States as the Japanese government declined to disclose records of their exposure to radiation.
