Watch the huge cactus
The US MILITARY PERFORMED 105 ATMOSPHERIC NUCLEAR TESTS OVER THE "PACIFIC PROVING GROUNDS" BETWEEN 1946 AND 1962, a euphemism for the Marshall Islands and many other surrounding South Pacific atolls. The government spent roughly a quarter-billion dollars and three years to cover up that massive radioactive hole. The end result is a massive, foot-and-a-half-thick, 100,000-square-foot dome made up of 358 massive concrete panels. Despite warning warnings, it is still feasible to land on Runit and stomp across the Cactus Dome.
In the late 1970s, the government excavated 111,000 cubic yards of dirt at Bikini and Rongelap atolls in an effort to clean up the radioactive material left behind from these explosions. This resting site was in a 110-meter-wide crater created previously as a result of an 18-kiloton nuclear test nicknamed "Cactus." The government spent about a quarter-billion dollars and three years to close this massive radioactive hole. The end result is a massive, thick dome with a surface area of 9,200 square meters, made up of 358 massive concrete panels and resembling a UFO, which will become known as the "cactus" in the future.
