		But unlike atomic-bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese government has not recognized the fishermen of the Fukuryu Maru as victims of a nuclear bomb and has continued to exclude them from relief measures under Japanese law.

		Due to failure to postpone the test following unfavorable changes in the weather, combined with the unexpectedly high yield and the failure to conduct pre-test evacuations as a precaution, the Marshallese Islanders on Rongerik, Rongelap, Ailinginae, and Utirik atolls were blanketed with the fallout plume.
		They were evacuated on March 3 but 64 Marshallese received doses of 175 R. In addition, the Japanese fishing vessel Daigo Fukuryu Maru was also heavily contaminated, with the 23 crewmen receiving exposures of 300 R (one later died - apparently from complications).
		The entire Bikini Atoll was contaminated to varying degrees, and many operation Castle personnel were subsequently over-exposed as a result.
