Castle Bravo Nuclear Test
The most famous of the series of the test was Operation castle Bravo. It was the biggest nuclear explosion ever conducted by the US. It gained notoriety because it caused 2.5 times more yield than predicted. This came from a theoretical error when designing the bomb. As a result, the fallout reached some populated islands, and a nearby Japanese fishing vessel (Daigo Fukuryu Maru) was affected by the fallout.
