This is a garbage website/source, but adds some more context:

Apparently a big concrete dome where loads of radioactive shit from old tests has cracked due to weather/climate related wear and tear.
An article from 2019, highlighting the risks of this thing becoming a problem: https://www.latimes.com/projects/marshall-islands-nuclear-testing-sea-level-rise/
The radiation warning is near a different atoll, so hard to say if the above is related or not, but it’s kinda blowing my mind how limited reporting is on the subject. It feels like it’s being suppressed in English language media.
The US doesn't want to draw attention to the absolute fuckfest that their nuclear testing wrought on the world.
The Soviets too, but at least the Soviets bombed bumfuck nowhere in Siberia.
Yeah that’s certainly what it seems like.
