The first hydrogen bomb test was Ivy Mike on the island of Eugelab in Eniwetok atoll. The device was a cylinder 80 feet tall and 20 feet in diameter weighing over 500 tons. The yield was 10 megatons. Eugelab ceased to be an island and became a water filled crater. This crater was later used for other lower yield hydrogen bomb tests in other series.

Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands was used by the United States to test the hydrogen bomb in the 1950s. The tests resulted in widespread environmental and health impacts on the local population.

What element is used to make a hydrogen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, uses isotopes of hydrogen such as deuterium and tritium. These isotopes undergo fusion reactions to release a huge amount of energy, which is the principle behind the explosive power of a hydrogen bomb.
