Putting the ‘nuclear coffin’ in perspective
There has been a flurry of headlines this summer about a “nuclear coffin” leaking radioactive waste into the Pacific Ocean. The coffin—a bomb crater filled with radioactive soil on a tiny island in the Marshall Islands—sits under a 350-foot-wide concrete lid known as Runit Dome. It’s arguably the region’s most visible scar from Operation Crossroads, a series of U.S. nuclear weapons tests that took place off Bikini and Enewetak Atolls between 1946 and 1958.
