Operation Ivy

Enewetak Atoll, Marshall Islands in 1952

Mushroom After nuclear test

Shot Mike & Shot King

Veterans may receive $75,000 Nuclear Test Site Cancer Compensation. Find out if you qualify.

Operation Ivy was the eighth series of American nuclear tests, coming after Operation Tumbler-Snapper and before Operation Upshot–Knothole. The two explosions were staged in late 1952 at Enewetak Atoll in the Pacific Proving Ground in the Marshall Islands.

The Operation Ivy test series was the first to involve a hydrogen bomb rather than an atomic bomb, further to the order of President Harry S. Truman on January 31, 1950 that the US should continue research into all forms of nuclear weapons. The bombs were prepared by the US Atomic Energy Commission and Defense Department aboard naval vessels, and were capable of being detonated remotely from the control ship Estes.

Dates: Oct 29 – Dec 31, 1952
