Although it is true that at the time, during the Cold War, there was a fear of the Soviet Union developing a nuclear warhead first, so the U.S. was forced to test atomic bombs to develop them, it is more significant that the testings also compromised the safety of civilians and could lead to nuclear Armageddon in the future.

There should be a world-wide ban on engaging in nuclear testings due to the negative effects it can have on the native population, future generations, the land itself, and threat on the people living nearby.

-A ship is sunk to symbolize the tragedy of the Lucky Dragon, a fishing ship that was caught in the fallout of the atomic bomb testings at Bikini Atoll

-Gojira (Godzilla) is a monster told in the legends of Odo Island, and was supposedly awakened by the U.S. bomb testing

-Gojira uses its massive size and radioactive breath to terrorize the Japanese population and destroy cities such as Tokyo

-Gojira symbolizes the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the devastating effect they had on the Japanese population

"North Korea is the only nation to conduct any nuclear tests in this century," (2).

"The move comes against numerous calls from North Korea's allies and antagonists to refrain from more 'provocative acts' following January's test and a February rocket launch," (2).

"United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 2270... China, a longtime ally of Pyongyang, signed on, signaling it too was weary of the North's threats to the security of the Northeast Asia region," (2).

"We will continue to put some of the toughest pressure North Korea has ever been under as a consequence of this behavior," (2).

"The Korean War was raging. McCarthyism was rampant. Ike was it and the Cold War was hot. If you were against nuclear testing, you were for a Communist regime," (3).

"I cannot prove that my mother... my grandmothers... along with my aunts contracted cancer from nuclear fallout in Utah. But I can't prove they didn't," (5).

"Again and again, the American public was told by its government, in spite of burns, blisters, and nausea, 'It has been found that the tests may be conducted with adequate assurance of safety under conditions prevailing at the bombing reservations,'" (3).

"Fallout from Bravo (series of atomic bomb testings on Bikini) was consequently much larger than had been anticipated... A number of people living on these islands (Rongelap, Itrik, and Rongerik) developed radiation burns and many were evacuated from their homes temporarily," (2).

"The primary culprit on Bikini was the radioactive isotope cesium-137. It had become so widely distributed in the soil, the water, and the crops on the island that no one living there could escape from it. With a half life on thirty years, the isotope is likely to make the island uninhabitable for another century," (2).

"Five years later, the United States government decided that it was safe for the Bikinians to return home... In 1978, tests showed that returnees had ingested quantities of radioactive materials much higher than the levels considered to be safe," (2).

"From 1946 until the present day, Bikini Atoll is still uninhabitable due to the radioactive fallout from the atomic bomb testings," (2).

"Political arguments and said 'Well, we know that atomic weapons are in principle possible, and it is not right that the threat of their unrealized possibility should hang over the world. It is right that the world should know what can be done in their field and deal with it' (2)."

"There was in the first place the great concern that our enemy might develop these weapons before we did... that it might be very difficult, it might be an impossible, it might be an incredibly long thing to win the war," (2).

"I think it is true to say that atomic weapons are a peril which affect everyone in the world, and in that sense a completely common problem..." (3).

"There were 67 of them altogether, spanning the years 1952 to 1958. Total up all the megatonnage and you get the equivalent of one Hiroshima every day for 19 years, (2)."

"They left several of the islands uninhabitable for generations to come, and cancer rates elsewhere in the archipelago remain high. Residents nearest the test sites were persuaded to leave. U.S. officials told them their land 'was needed for a project that would benefit mankind,' (2)."

"In 1954 the Cold War was deepening. Communism, the evil invoked to justify all evil, was spreading. The Soviet Union exploded a hydrogen bomb before the U.S. did. It developed commercial nuclear power before the U.S. did. The U.S. was playing desperate catch-up, (2)."

"In a way, Godzilla's death is the movie's second reenactment of the atomic bombings, with the monster signifying the suffering of the hibakusha (A-bomb victims)," (9).

"Godzilla is not an angry film, not a simplistic indictment of the United States... It is a powerful condemnation of the atomic age and a plea for nuclear powers to end the march towards oblivion," (9).

"The opening scene of Godzilla must have been particularly chilling for Japanese moviegoers... unmistakable reference to The Lucky Dragon, a tuna trawler that strayed dangerously close to an American H-bomb test and ignited and international controversy when its crew returned to Japan, sick with radiation poisoning," (2).
