From Wikipedia

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Crossroads

The live animals on some of the target ships[39] were supplied by the support ship USS Burleson, which brought 200 pigs, 60 guinea pigs, 204 goats, 5,000 rats, 200 mice, and grains containing insects to be studied for genetic effects by the National Cancer Institute.[26]

There’s a good documentary called Trinity and Beyond on our nuke program.
It’s narrated by the Captain James Tiberius Kirk.
