On March 1, 1954, the United States conducted the Castle Bravo hydrogen bomb test in the Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands. It marked the most potent nuclear detonation of its time, producing 10,000 kilotons of energy—far surpassing the destructive force of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs. The explosion overwhelmed measuring instruments due to its intensity. Scientists discovered that the blast exceeded their predictions, resulting in a massive 160-kilometer mushroom cloud and the release of radioactive fallout. Initiated in 1946, the Castle Bravo test was part of a series in the Bikini Atoll, leading to the relocation of local inhabitants to other islands. This event underscored the unprecedented power of hydrogen bombs, sparking concerns about the environmental and humanitarian consequences of nuclear testing.
