nuclear weapons can be tested in places such as deserts and the ocean because theres no human life their so it cannot kill no one. before the tsunami in Japan there was a nuclear weapon tested in the sea and scientist think that the explosion of the bomb was so powerful that it moved the tectonics plates. also scientist found strange fishes in japan after the tsunami and this also gives evidence that the radiation effected the fishes and cfreatures in the sea.
India is not a Party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. India tested what it called a "peaceful nuclear explosive" in 1974 (which became known as "Smiling Buddha"). The test was the first test developed after the creation of the NPT, and created new questions about how civilian nuclear technology could be diverted secretly to weapons purposes (dual-use technology). Though India maintained that its nuclear capability was primarily "peaceful", it apparently weaponized two dozen nuclear weapons for delivery by air between 1988 and 1990. But it was not until 1998 that India tested weaponized nuclear warheads ("Operation Shakti"), including a thermonuclear device. And it is estimated that India has 80-100 nuclear warheads (might not be active).

the nuclear kind
Russian nuclear weapons have traditionally had higher yield than US nuclear weapons to compensate for the greater targeting error in their missiles.
The Bikini atoll was used for nuclear weapons testing.
No. The Netherlands have not tested or developed nuclear weapons.
There were 23 total nuclear weapons tested at Bikini Atoll between the years of 1946 and 1958. These nuclear weapons caused a great amount of radiation to be leaked into the surrounding areas.

The French tested their nuclear weapons in the Sahara desert (before Algeria's independence) and on the Pacific atoll of Mururoa.
India and Pakistan

The US tested nuclear weapons on its own territory including the deserts of the continental southwest US.
Both US & UK.
Antarctica and South America, I think that may be it.
1945 was the first year that a Nuclear bomb was successfully tested then used in combat.
America, Russia, and Korea.
IsraelMaybe Iran, but if so it has not been tested
