Hydrogen Bomb Blast in Bikini Atoll

|

"Castle Bravo" was the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated by the United States, with a yield of 15 Megatons. That yield, far exceeding the expected yield of 4 to 6 megatons, combined with other factors, led to the most significant accidental radiological contamination ever caused by the United States. It was detonated on the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands on March 1, 1954.
