Coffin Leaking In the Pacific

During the Cold War, the Pacific suffered from nuclear testing done by the United States and France from 1946 to 1958. In the Marshall Islands, the Bikini and Enewetak atolls were ground zero for 67 American nuclear weapons when they were under U.S. Administration. A hydrogen bomb "Bravo" in 1954 was apart of these 67 which is the most powerful ever donated by the United States, 1,000 bigger than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima (imagine the damage done considering the immediate and later consequences in Japan). The issue of climate change and global warming, especially Sea Level Rise has been the most significant issue at hand as of now, however, the Pacific Islanders still need help from the effects of the nuclear testing and the fallout. Dramatic consequences are in relation to health and the poisoning of waters in some areas, who UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres shares. The Marshall Islands President Hilda Heine shares her concern about the risks of radioactive materials that are hidden under a concrete dome in the areas used for testing. Constructed in the 1970s on Runit Island, used as a dumping ground for waste from the nuclear testing, 18 inches thick, cracks have developed in the concrete and is threatened to break with possibilities if hit by a cyclone.
