Where are nuclear weapons tested?
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.
