Remembering Castle Bravo
WEBINAR: Remembering Castle Bravo
March 1st 2023 commemorates the 69th anniversary of the US Castle Bravo thermonuclear explosion in the Marshall Islands, which contaminated the Bikini, Enewetak, Rongelap, and Utrik atolls.
The bomb was fifteen megatons, making it the largest nuclear bomb the United States had ever tested and 1000 times stronger than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
This webinar gave people an opportunity to hear about the lived experience of Marshall Islanders, as well as the environmental, health and intergenerational impact of the fallout.
