HISTORY TODAY : MARCH 1, 1954: 1000 TIMES POWERFUL BOMB EXPLODED IN BIKINI ATOLL!

US explodes a 15 megaton hydrogen bomb at Bikini Atoll on this day, March 1 in 1954. 

This is 1000 times more powerful than the bomb exploded at Hiroshima during World War II. 

Livescience reports that:

"Some of the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean — such as the Bikini and Enewetak atolls — are still more radioactive than Chernobyl and Fukushima, even though more than 60 years have passed since the United States tested radioactive weapons on those islands, a new study finds. (Jul 16, 2019)."

Grateful thanks to Onthisday.com and Live science.com.
