A concise review is presented of applying 14 C produced in the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing program (1950 to 1963), subsequently forming the so-called 14 C bomb peak. In order to convey the versatility of this unique isotope signal, selected applications from a variety of different fields are discussed touching on environmental, archaeological, biological, and forensic issues. A comprehensive list of references is supplied for in-depth studies of the respective fields
