The Lucky Dragon Incident and American National Security Commission 5516/1

On March 1st 1954, the crew members on a Japanese fishing boat ,Lucky Dragon V, were damaged by the radioactive fallout which a U.S.thermonuclear weapon test created in the Bikini ocean zone, and one of them died in the incident. Japan negotiated with America on the boat's dealing with victim's treatment and reparation etc., and it caused the first crisis of the Japanese-American relations postwar. Japanese people set off the agitation against U.S. and Yoshida Shigeru administration. American government examined its Japanese policy and formulated NSC5516/1,which affirmed the rearmed policy step by step Yoshida put forward. This document became the programmatic document about American Japanese policy henceforth.
