Castle Bravo (1 Mar 1954) was the first hydrogen bomb exploded atmospherically at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The fallout cloud (that they said they couldn't predict) irradiated four atolls inhabited by Marshall Islanders. They knew. It was a deliberate attempt to study the effects of irradiation across several generations. The US govt has always maintained that it was an accident, but given the perfect case study they managed to cobble together it is clear they experimented on the islanders.
