This presentation describes the post-WW2 legacy of US nuclear testing in the Pacific. From 1946 through 1958 the United States conducted 67 nuclear tests on Bikini and Enewetak Atolls in the Marshall Islands. In March 1954, the United States detonated its largest thermonuclear device, “Castle Bravo”, which at 15 megatons, was 1,000 times the force of the first tests on Bikini in 1946 and that of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan in 1944.
The presentation is made by Dr April L Brown, cofounder and President of the Marshallese Educational Initiative. Further information is available at the website: www.mei.ngo
