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

I looked again at your list and see the numeral at the end of each line. I missed that the first time I looked at the list and assumed it was one test for each line. So now I conclude that that means there were that many explosions at that location in that year. Does it tell how big they were and so forth?
These facts are apparently germaine to the discussion but I am no expert on the various ways nuclear warheads can be tested.
I only know what was reported in the book and what was discussed about the ramifications of the actions of the US in Afganistan.
