In 1954, the United States detonated its most powerful hydrogen bomb — and got it disastrously wrong. The Castle Bravo test at Bikini Atoll unleashed far more destruction than expected, contaminating islanders, American servicemen, and even a Japanese fishing crew. In this explosive episode, we examine the scientific miscalculations, the human toll, and how one test changed the global conversation around nuclear weapons forever.
