When you copied and pasted your chart, you forgot to include the following...
"United States: 1,054 tests by official count (involving at least 1,151 devices, 331 atmospheric tests), most at Nevada Test Site and the Pacific
Proving Grounds in the Marshall Islands, with ten other tests taking place at various locations in the United States, including Amchitka Alaska,
Colorado, Mississippi, and New Mexico (see Nuclear weapons and the United States for details).
Soviet Union: 715 tests (involving 969 devices) by official count,[4] most at Semipalatinsk Test Site and Novaya Zemlya, and a few more at various
sites in Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Ukraine.
France: 210 tests by official count (50 atmospheric, 160 underground[5]), 4 atomic atmospheric tests at C.E.S.M. near Reggane, 13 atomic underground
tests at C.E.M.O. near In Ekker in the then-French Algerian Sahara, and nuclear atmospheric tests at Fangataufa and nuclear undersea tests Moruroa in
French Polynesia. Additional atomic and chemical warfare tests took place in the secret base B2-Namous, near Ben Wenif, other tests involving rockets
and missiles at C.I.E.E.S, near Hammaguir, both in the Sahara.
United Kingdom: 45 tests (21 in Australian territory, including 9 in mainland South Australia at Maralinga and Emu Field, some at Christmas Island in
the Pacific Ocean, plus many others in the U.S. as part of joint test series)
China: 45 tests (23 atmospheric and 22 underground, at Lop Nur Nuclear Weapons Test Base, in Malan, Xinjiang)
India: 6 underground tests (including the first one in 1974), at Pokhran[citation needed].
Pakistan: 6 underground tests, at Ras Koh Hills, Chagai District and Kharan Desert, Kharan District in Balochistan Province[citation needed].
North Korea: 2 tests at Hwadae-ri[citation needed]."
So yes, the data is real.
