Operation
Crossroads was an
atmospheric nuclear weapon test series conducted
in the summer of 1946, at Bikini Atoll in the
Marshall Islands. The series consisted of two
detonations of 23-kiloton atomic bombs. The tests
were conducted in order to study the effects of
nuclear weapons on ships, equipment, and
material. Technical experiments were also
conducted to study nuclear weapon explosion
phenomena. |
