Johnston Atoll

It has the status of a National Wildlife Refuge but was contaminated by fallout from nuclear-weapons testing in 1962, and has since 1971 been used as a repository for chemical weapons left over from the Korean and Vietnam wars. An unincorporated territory of the USA, it is administered by the US Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA).
