The island of Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean was significantly affected by nuclear testing conducted by the United States between 1946 and 1958. These tests resulted in the contamination and destruction of the environment, leading to the displacement of its indigenous inhabitants. The long-term effects of radiation have rendered the atoll largely uninhabitable, despite some areas being declared safe for limited access.

Why was coral atoll chosen for the nuclear tests?

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.

How did the US attack the Pacific?

the US used a tactic called "island-hopping". For strategic island targets, aerial and naval bombardment destroyed anything on land. Then troops would invade the island, eventually securing the island from any Japanese pillboxes. If an island was considered of no strategic importance, then a full naval and aerial bombardment would be carried out, until there as nothing much left of the island and then they could move on. That tactic was used all the way to Iwo Jima. From then on, it would be nuclear bomb explosions, or a full-fledged invasion of Japan, that would end the war.
