The first true H-bomb device tested was Ivy Mike on the island of Eugelab in Eniwetok Atoll in 1952. Mike was a steel can 80 feet tall and 20 feet in diameter containing 3 nested steel thermos bottles to hold the liquid deuterium-tritium mixture. When it went off the island of Eugelab ceased to exist.

When did the US come to the Marshall Islands?
The United States Marines arrived on the Marshall Islands in February of 1944 towards the end of WW 2. They kept these islands for nuclear testing and later to establish the Ronald Reagan Missile Defense Test Site which today is the leading missile testing facility of the United States. This base, located in Kwajalein Atoll, is the subject of great controversy in the relationship between the Marshall Islands and the United States, as the US wishes to keep it for another 75 years without a fair and honest payment for its use. People of the Marshall Islands are suspicious of the American intentions because, as a result of the nuclear tests, many of the islands are contaminated FOREVER, and people who were exposed do not get the medical attention the United States promised. Because of the close relationship between the countries, Marshallese can enter the United States as if they were citizens and vice versa, and Marshallese youngsters fight in Iraq and Afghanistan to this day, adding a REMARKABLE twist in the unique bond of friendship between the Marshall Islands and the United States.
What was the island where the US exploded the first atomic bomb?
Japan : Hiroshima & Nagasaki were the cities destroyed. I have heard also that some small Pacific islands were completely vaporized by hydrogen bomb tests during the 1950s, including Bikini Atoll and Elugelab Atoll (the swimwear got its name after the explosion destroyed the island). In addition, I recently learned that the first hydrogen bomb (fusion bomb) test in the South Pacific was about twice as powerful as scientists anticipated. Although the evacuated area was still large enough to keep anyone from being harmed by the larger blast, the extra fallout was suddenly an unanticipated threat to the people of the Marshall Islands, and the U.S. government had to rush over and start evacuating them. I don't know how much harm was done to the people of the Marshall Islands, but I do know that the Marshall Islands has a national holiday to honor its atomic victims.

When did the Soviets test their first hydrogen bomb?
The only nuclear weapons ever used in war were the "Little Boy" a single stage 80% enriched uranium fission gun bomb and "Fat Man" a single-stage plutonium fission implosion bomb dropped by the USA on Japan at the end of WWII. A "hydrogen bomb" uses that same first plutonium and/or uranium fission explosion to then trigger hydrogen fusion, for 1000 times as powerful an explosion.They were first tested on Nov 1, 1952 at Eniwetok Atoll in the Pacific. There has never been a hydrogen bomb used in war.
