The term 'Bikini in the Central Pacific' refers to the Bikini ATOLL, a coral reef located in the Marshall Islands in the Central Pacific Ocean. The ATOLL was the site of 23 nuclear tests conducted by the United States between 1946 and 1958. The tests had devastating effects on the environment and the people living in the area, leading to the displacement of the native population. The term 'Bikini ATOLL' is derived from the Marshallese word 'pikinni, ' which means 'coconut place.'
