Nuclear Testing, Bikini Atoll Program, 1946-58
The nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll program was a series of 23 nuclear devices detonated by the US between 1946-58 at seven test sites on the reef itself, on the sea, in the air and underwater. The first series of tests over Bikini Atoll in July 1946 was code named Operation Crossroads. The second series of tests in 1954 was codenamed Operation Castle. Despite the promises made by authorities, these and further nuclear tests (Redwing in 1956 and Hardtack in 1958) rendered Bikini unfit for habitation, contaminating the soil and water, making subsistence farming and fishing too dangerous. The US later paid the islanders and their descendants $125 million in compensation for damage caused by the nuclear testing program and their displacement from their home island.
