Every Nuclear Test Since 1945

Zz

"In the name of national security, eight countries have tested nuclear weapons all over the world since 1945, frequently near populated places."

There have been a total of 2,054 nuclear tests during the past 70 years.

"France performed its first nuclear tests in occupied Algeria in the 1960s. "

Now I know why DeGaulle let Algeria go in 1962.
