        TOKYO, Japan - Photo taken in December 2013 shows Masatoshi Yamashita, a former high school teacher, giving an interview at his home in Sukumo, Kochi Prefecture. Yamashita, together with his students, confirmed after 30 years of studies that some 1,000 Japanese fishing boats were exposed to "death ash" caused by a series of U.S. nuclear tests in the central Pacific Ocean around 60 years ago, in addition to the Fukuryu Maru No. 5 tuna fishing boat that was exposed to fallout from a U.S. hydrogen bomb detonated on Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands on March 1, 1954.
