The last U.S. above-ground (atmospheric) test was in 1963. The last U.S. underground test was in 1992. The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (signed by many major powers) ended testeing of all kinds, atmospheric or underground, in 1992. The U.S. models (with supercomputers) characteristics of nuclear weapons 'explosions' in order to 'test' its weapons designs.
