A group of elementary school children on a field trip studying the display of No. 5 Fukuryu-maru take a close look at the boat at the Exhibition Hall in Tokyo Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2004. The No. 5 Fukuryu-maru, or Lucky Dragon, was about 160 kilometers (100 miles) off Bikini island in the central Pacific when the United States tested a bomb there, accidentally exposing 23 fishermen to high levels of radiation. The bombing 50 years ago this Sunday, March 1, set off a firestorm of protest in Japan, gave birth to the country's anti-nuclear movement and strongly reinforced the image of Japan - the site of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki attacks - as a unique witness to the atomic age.
