Correction, Eniwetok atoll in the pacific on the island of Eugelab in 1952. Yield was 10 Megatons and it entirely destroyed the island. Test shot Ivy Mike. Device was 80 foot tall, 20 foot diameter, 2 foot thick steel cylinder containing triple nested thermosbottles to keep cold a liquid mixture of Deuterium/Tritium fusion fuel. Also vaporized in the explosion was a cryogenic liquid Hydrogen plant that supplied liquid Hydrogen that was pumped through one of the nested thermosbottles to keep the Deuterium/Tritium mixture liquid.
