有300多次核武器试验，包括大气层试验、地面试验和地下试验，是在太平洋进行的。倾倒核废料和储存核材料仍然是太平洋区域各国面临的紧迫挑战。现在仍可感受到核试验造成的影响，其表现形式是环境退化以及太平洋各国人民所面临的越来越多的健康挑战。武器试验对粮食和海洋生态的长期影响是太平洋各地人民日益关切的问题。
There were more than 300 nuclear weapons tests, atmospheric, below surface and underground, conducted in the Pacific. The dumping of nuclear waste and storage of nuclear materials remain pressing challenges for countries across the region. The effect of nuclear testing is still being felt in the form of environmental degradation and the growing health challenges faced by the Pacific peoples. The long-term impacts of weapons testing on food and marine ecology are a growing concern across the Pacific.
