Summary From 1946 until 1958, as part of the Cold War arms race, the U.S. military detonated sixty-seven nuclear bombs over Bikini and Eniwetok Atolls in the Pacific Ocean. The twelfth bomb, called Bravo, became the world's first nuclear disaster. It sent a toxic cloud of radiation over Rongelap Atoll and other nearby inhabited islands.
