Hi all,
Since 1945 until around 1996, the following nuclear tests have taken place. Anyone have a map of where these tests took place?

United States: 215 atmospheric tests + 815 underground tests = 1,030
USSR: 219 atmospheric tests + 496 underground tests = 715
UK: 21 atmospheric tests + 24 underground tests = 45
France: 50 atmospheric tests + 160 underground tests = 210
China: 23 atmospheric tests + 22 underground tests = 45
The grand total of global atmospheric tests = 528
