As U.S. President Barack Obama visits the atomic-bombed city of Hiroshima on Friday, residents of the Marshall Islands — the Pacific nation used by the U.S. as a nuclear test site after World War II — have also begun calling for a similar visit by the leader.
"I question Obama's trip to Japan. Can he come and visit me as I was there during the Bravo incident and got injured," said Nerje Joseph, 68, a survivor of the March 1, 1954, Bravo Test on the Marshall Islands' Bikini Atoll.
That blast has been described as the most powerful of the 67 nuclear tests conducted by the U.S. in the tiny country between 1946 and 1958.
