The U.S. tested a total of 67 nuclear bombs, all of which were considered atmospheric. The "Bravo" shot, a 15 megaton device detonated on 1 March 1954 at Bikini atoll, was a hydrogen bomb, the strongest and thus most well known among the 67 bombs. It is said that Bravo alone was equivalent to 1,000 Hiroshima bombs and the rest of the tests to be equal to 7,000 Hiroshima bombs.

A survivor's warning on nuclear contamination http://www.pacificecologist.org/archive/13/survivors-nuclear-warning.pdf 74 +Lijon's statement should be taken as a warning for us all. We should hasten to take steps to ensure the Marshallese experience is never repeated. But this same atrocity against humanity has already been repeated in places like Maralinga and Monte Bello in Australia, Moruroa ~~mir-rue-O~~ and Fangataufa~~fang-a-2-fa~~ in French Polynesia (or Te Ao Maohi), in Christmas Island in Kiribati (and many other places across the Pacific and around the world). We are far behind schedule in ensuring this planet is a safe place for its peoples. And with eight nations currently holding over 27,000 nuclear weapons, and a renewed push for the mining of uranium to feed a proliferation of nuclear power stations across the globe, the question we need to ask is: will humanity heed Lijon's warning in time? We urgently need to abolish and outlaw nuclear weapons and all things nuclear. All aspects of the nuclear armaments and power industry should be banned – from uranium mining through nuclear waste dumping, from nuclear power stations to the closely connected nuclear weapons industry. We have been very tardy in our efforts to pull away from the "Cold War" with its menacing nuclear paraphernalia. The clock hands still remain at "two-minutes-to-Midnight!" As Lijon has said: "Since the nuclear weapons tests, the story of the Marshallese people has been sad and painful. Allow our experience now to save others such sadness and pain later. I know first-hand what the devastating effects of nuclear weapons are over time and over long distances, and what those effects mean to innocent human beings across generations. I plead with you to do what you can, to not allow the suffering we Marshallese have experienced to be repeated in any other community in the world. While no government or other organization can restore the health of the Marshallese people or our environment, steps can be taken that will make it less likely the same kinds of horrors will be experienced again."7,8 75 + 76 + 77 +====The US has a legal obligation to protect the people of Micronesia ==== 78 +Beacham '92 79 +Jellyfish babies ~~The following is excerpted from an article by Catherine Beacham, researcher at the University of the Philippines' Asian Center, which was first published in Midweek and later in ASA News.
