	Bravo test (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
		The Bravo test was held in 1954 in a large zone around Bikini Atoll.
		One of them, Castle Bravo, was supposed to have a yield of about 6 megatons.
		In fact, it was the largest bomb ever tested by the United States; it reached the dramatical yield of 15 megatons.

		Bravo is the world's first catheter-free pH system that allows patients to enjoy their regular diet and activities without the embarrassment and discomfort associated with traditional pH monitoring.
		The study results obtained with a Bravo system are more representative of a patient's normal day, and because 48 hours of a data can be recorded, more data is a available to the physician.
		The miniature Bravo pH capsule is approximately the size of a gel cap.

	The Bravo H-Bomb Test, One WMD They Couldn't Hide, by Joann Wypijewski, March 2, 2004
		Bravo was not the first, or the last, just the worst of America's nuclear tests in the Pacific, a fission-fusion-fission reaction, a thermonuclear explosion, an H-Bomb, America's biggest blast.
		The Bravo blast was so immense, so terrible that the typical comparison_"equal to 1,000 Hiroshimas"_seems almost evasive, as if there were a continuum of comprehensibility within which it might fit.
		That's a cloud five times the length of Manhattan, vaporizing all beneath it, sucking everything_in Bravo's case, three islands' worth of coral reef, sand, land and sea life, millions of tons of it_into the sky, and then moving, showering this common stuff, now in a swirl of radioactive isotopes, along its path.

		The test is not suitable for patients with pacemakers and certain conditions of the oesophagus.

		And in 1988, the Marshall Islands Nuclear Claims Tribunal was established to grant compensation to Marshall Islanders for personal injury deemed to have been caused by nuclear testing.

	The Making of the Limited Test Ban Treaty, 1958-1963
		Radiation Laboratory, was a prominent critic of the test ban movement; he supported continued testing and, of course, argued that the possibility of clandestine underground testing made a comprehensive agreement unworkable.
		This document is an analysis of the effects of radiological fallout produced by the notorious Castle Bravo test held in the South Pacific of 28 February 1954, whose yield, 15 megatons, far exceeded the 8 megatons that the weapons testers anticipated.
		Plainly, the resumption of testing was not feasible; as Nixon observed in his wrap-up, given Eisenhower's recent "good-will trip", the anticipated heads of state summit, and a scheduled Presidential trip to Russian, it would be difficult for Eisenhower to announce a program of underground tests without sharpening global tensions.

		Of the radionuclides originally deposited as fallout from the BRAVO detonation, only 5 radionuclides are still present in sufficient quantities to contribute significant doses to individuals.
		In addition to performing medical examinations on persons exposed to the initial BRAVO fallout, the BNL medical staff initiated, in 1958, periodic whole-body counting to determine the extent to which photon-emitting radionuclides from the internal exposure sources shown in Table 1-2 were being incorporated in people.

		Due to failure to postpone the test following unfavorable changes in the weather, combined with the unexpectedly high yield, the Marshallese Islanders on Rongerik, Rongelap, Ailinginae, and Utirik atolls were blanketed with the fallout plume.

		In 1954 the United States conducted Operation Castle, a series of nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands; the goal was to test prototypes of the first weaponized thermonuclear weapons ("emergency capability" weapons).
		The first shot in the series was Bravo, a test of the "Shrimp" TX-21 device, with a predicted yield of 6 megatons.
		Designers had significantly underestimated the efficiency of reactions involving lithium-7 in the lithium deuteride solid fuel (one of the design innovations being tested); the actual yield was 15 megatons, 67% from fission.
