Moruroa

Moruroa is an atoll located in the South Pacific Ocean, and it is part of French Polynesia. It is known primarily for its association with French nuclear testing during the 20th century. From 1966 to 1996, France conducted numerous nuclear tests at Moruroa, which led to significant environmental and health concerns among local populations and environmentalists. The atoll itself consists of a number of islands surrounded by a large lagoon.
