1 March -Remembering All Nuclear Victims.

The commemoration started as a way to remember the victims of the Castle Bravo test of March 1, 1954 which exposed much of the Marshall Islands to radioactive fallout. This was the largest nuclear weapon that the U.S. ever tested, with over twice the designed yield, and the wind blew the fallout over populated areas.

Now we also commemorate other nuclear victims – from Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, nuclear testing, nuclear waste cleanup, human radiation experiments, depleted uranium weapons and uranium mining and processing.
