Many of the tests that followed are just vaguely familiar names now, but they loom large in the memories of the weary scientists, including Ogle, who sweated them out. There was Ranger at Frenchman Flat near Las Vegas, Greenhouse at Eniwetok, Buster-Jangle and Tumbler-Snapper. With Ivy in November 1952, the first hydrogen bomb was exploded, wiping out the tiny island of Elugelab, and digging a crater a mile long and 175 ft. deep in the ocean's floor, near Eniwetok. During Castle, near Bikini in the spring of 1954, miscalculations on power and meteorology caused radioactive...
