The United States conducted 67 nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands (44 at Enewetak and 23 at Bikini Atoll), with the combined explosive yield equivalent to detonating a Hiroshima-sized bomb every day for 20 years, causing permanent environmental damage that has not been restored despite remediation efforts.

Hiroshima x7,000 πAdded:
The US didn't want to test larger thermonuclear weapons on its own land or even near its own land. So, it moved out to the middle of the Pacific Ocean onto the Marshall Islands. The island is uninhabitable. [music] They said maybe if you took off, you know, a certain amount of, you know, soil, then maybe that would help.
[music] They still haven't been able to get the islands to where they were at before. There were a total of 44 tests in Enewetak and 23 tests on the Bikini Atoll [music] in the Marshall Islands.
The power of these weapons was so great that it was the equivalent of setting off a Hiroshima bomb every single day for 20 years.
