I posted an abbreviated list of atmospheric nuclear weapons tests which occurred within the borders of the continental US. The list did not include tests conducted in the Pacific, or the Atlantic. Nor did it include tests conducted by other nations. Nor did it include underground tests. It does indeed indicate that your estimate of the extent of weapons testing done in the stated time and place was low. I expect that anyone with the ability to add sums and do long division to also agree that there were more than "1 or 2 per year"

Which other nuclear armed states do you propose are itching for a brawl? I've listed them for your convenience; because I know how you hate to click a link or do any research yourself. US, UK, France, Russia, Israel, North Korea, China
