When did Nuclear tests occur in the pacific?
The first time nuclear testing was done in the Pacific was in 1946. Tests were conducted at the Marshall Islands, Bikini Atoll and a few other "nondescript" sites. Testing continued by the US in the Pacific up until 1962. France also conducted its own tests in French Polynesia, between 1966 and 1996.

How many times have nuclear weapons been used?
Nuclear weapons were used twice in combat against the Japanese Empire in 1945. In order to decisively end the Pacific War Hiroshima and Nagasaki became the only cities (in so far) to witness a nuclear holocaust. Many nuclear tests have been conducted since, with hydrogen and neutron types also detonated. The last suspected nuclear tests were by North Korea in February 2013.
Can underground nuclear tests alter earth's axial tilt?
It is improbable that underground nuclear tests can alter the axial tilt of the earth.
Why did the US allowed to conduct nuclear testing in the pacific?
Following WW2, the Marshal Islands in the pacific (where the test shots were done) became a US protectorate. By international law the US could use them for anything they wanted. Other countries could complain if they didn't like something the US chose to do... but it would take an act of war to force the US to stop testing if they didn't already want to stop. International law already allowed it.The last pacific tests were in 1958.
What nuclear tests did the US do in space?

Explain the radioactive pollutionwhat are its consequences on environment and human health with the help of second world war and prolifereation of nuclear energy resources in the world?
Radioactive fallout has resulted from atmospheric nuclear weapon explosions. The first were in Japan in WW2, at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but subsequently both the US, Russia, and the UK carried out tests in the atmosphere. Nuclear fallout resulted but apart from locally to the test sites this has not presented any great problems. Some population evacuations have been carried out particularly in the Pacific islands as a result of US tests. Radioactive fallout just means the deposition after the test of active dust etc which is carried up to a height by the explosion and then drops back to earth.
