¿Qué salió mal durante las pruebas nucleares del atolón Bikini? Operación Crossroads

What did the United States test at Bikini Atoll? Bikini Atoll, in the Marshall Islands, in the Pacific Ocean, was chosen by the United States in 1946 to conduct several nuclear tests. This was Operation Crossroads, a series of detonations carried out to measure the effects of nuclear bombs on military fleets at sea. The tests had devastating effects: entire villages were destroyed, animals died, and the land was radioactively contaminated. The islanders were forced to evacuate and never returned to their homes. In this video, we'll explain what happened at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific, what the objectives of the US nuclear tests were, and what SpongeBob SquarePants' "Bikini Bottom" had to do with it. 00:00 Bikini Atoll Nuclear Tests: Operation Crossroads 00:44 US Operation Crossroads in 1946 01:32 Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, Pacific Ocean 02:30 What Was Tested at Bikini Atoll? 04:11 The First Nuclear Bomb Test 05:39 The Second Nuclear Test: Baker 08:00 What Happened at the Atoll?
