The atoll used by the US for nuclear weapons testing is called Bikini Atoll, located in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The infamous Castle Bravo test, the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated by the US, took place there in 1954.
Nuclear weapons testing can have negative impacts on the environment. They can make plants, soil and rain radioactive. This is extremely harmful to humans. Radioactivity can cause mutations in humans and animals.
