Operasi Crossroads adalah serangkaian uji coba nuklir yang dilakukan oleh Amerika Serikat di Atol Bikini, Samudera Pasifik, pada musim panas 1946. Tujuan operasi ini adalah untuk menguji pengaruh senjata nuklir terhadap kapal angkatan laut. Tekanan untuk membatalkan operasi ini datang dari para ilmuwan dan diplomat. Para ilmuwan yang terlibat dalam Proyek Manhattan menilai bahwa operasi tersebut tidak perlu dilakukan karena membahayakan lingkungan. Riset yang dilakukan oleh Los Alamos menunjukkan bahwa uji coba ini akan mengubah "kondisi air di sekitar permukaan ledakan menjadi cairan mematikan" akibat radioaktif. Untuk mempersiapkan uji coba ini, penduduk asli Bikini dipindahkan ke pulau-pulau yang lebih kecil dan tidak berpenghuni.[1]
Bom yang digunakan adalah Baker, senjata 23-kiloton nuklir yang diledakkan di bawah laut Bikini Atoll pada tahun 1946. Kapal laut yang mengambil foto dokumentasi pun relatif dekat, serta tidak diberi perlindungan terhadap dampak ledakan.
