Atolls
Atolls don't float to start with. There is land, the remnants of former volcanic islands, beneath them. The lagoon in the centre is not connected to the sea.
The U.S. used the pacific atolls because they were isolated from large population centers and because the Marshal Islands (where many of these atolls were) were entirely under U.S. control after WW2, so could freely involuntarily evacuate indigenous populations of the atolls that testing was planned on. The USSR did all of their testing inland for security reasons (they also did not have control over any atolls). The British did much of their testing inland on Australia and some in the pacific on Christmas island. The French did their testing in the Sahara desert. The Chinese did all of their testing inland for security reasons. etc.
