USA Tests Its Biggest Nuclear Weapon
The USA explodes a huge hydrogen bomb at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean.
In 1954, the USA tested a massive hydrogen bomb nicknamed "Bravo" at Bikini Atoll, part of the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
The bomb was nearly 1,000 times more powerful than the atomic bombs the USA dropped on two Japanese cities during World War 2.
Three weeks after the test, it was revealed that a Japanese fishing boat was within 80 miles of the test-zone during the explosion and that its 23 crew members were seriously affected by radiation sickness.
They were among 264 people accidentally exposed to the bomb's radioactive fallout.

美国进行核武器试验
美国在太平洋比基尼环礁进行了一场巨大的氢弹爆炸试验。
1954年,美国在太平洋上的马绍尔岛比基尼环礁进行代号为“Bravo”的大规模氢弹试验。
这枚氢弹的威力是二战期间美国在日本两座城市投下原子弹的近1000倍。
试验3周后,据透露一艘日本渔船当时是爆炸期间试验区域80英里内，船上23名船员受到辐射疾病严重影响。
他们中有264人意外接触炸弹的放射性尘埃。
