Off the coast of Australia in the 1950s, a new type of bomb was being tested by Britain. This bomb was more powerful than anything we'd ever seen before. The Hiroshima Nuclear Bomb was equivalent to sixteen thousand tons of T.N.T - the one tested in the South Pacific as part of Operation Grapple was equivalent to one million. This testing was undertaken by a number of Brits, including Roger from Caversham, who has just received the Nuclear Test Veterans Medal, to recognise his work on the project.
