The Operation Ivy tests were the eighth series nuclear tests conducted by the United States Army and the first to utilize hydrogen rather than atomic bombs. The Mike test was the first successful detonation of a multi-megaton thermonuclear weapon, yielding 10.4 megatons, nearly 500 times the explosive force of the bomb dropped on Nagasaki seven years earlier. Following the test Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Gordon Dean reported to incoming president Dwight D. Eisenhower, "The island of Elugelab is missing!"
