Castle Bravo Nuclear Test - Lucky Dragon Fishing Boat Incident - Daigo Fukuryū Maru

An inspector checks each fish which arrives in port to find out if it can be eaten. If the fish is considered safe to eat, it is stamped to indicate this. Having found these fish too radioactive to eat, the people of Yaizu dispose of them in the only safe way they know, by burying them deep in the ground.
