The 2 test ranges were the pacific test range (bikini and eniwetok atolls) and the Nevada proving grounds (north of Vegas).
Additional tests were done in about a half dozen states including Colorado, New Mexico, off the coast of California south of San Diego (underwater). Two test series were launched on rockets from kwajalene atoll to explode in space. One of these series was during project Gemini and they had to postpone the Gemini mission for fear the capsule's orbit would cross the radiation belt from one test.
I wouldn't say the US or even any side had a victory in the Cold War. It was a very tense time and we were all lucky to end it without use of nuclear weapons.
Tornado in the U.S. most frequently occur on the Great Plains.
Superior weapons, and his military trained men.
It was probably devastating weapons that killed with noise and fire.
To pass the time, what did soldiers in the civil war do?
the testing of nuclear weapons by North Korea

This is an example of an arms control agreement, specifically the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). The treaty aims to prevent the testing of nuclear weapons and the spread of nuclear weapons technology, contributing to global nuclear non-proliferation efforts.
August 5th, 1963 Three of the four nuclear powers sign a limited treaty that bans most, but not all, nuclear weapons testing. The 1963 treaty only banned "Atmospheric" tests (in the air, space, and underwater) not "most". Testing just moved underground and continued at about the same pace, maybe even faster for a while.
From 1945 until the late 1970s or early 1980s the United States always had the most nuclear weapons. After then the USSR/Russia has had the most nuclear weapons.
America has the most nuclear weapons

There is not just one nuclear arms treaty... there are a number of treaties currently in place between the U.S., Russia, and many other countries dealing with nuclear weapons. Some have to do with banning testing (whether above ground, below ground, or in space), some with banning their construction. Other treaties deal with an attempt to keep existing weapons from getting into the hands of other nations ('non-proliferation') and the most encouraging treaties are concerned with significantly reducing the existing nuclear stockpiles to a much smaller number that is easier to maintain, control and monitor.
As the category for this question is "Nuclear weapons", I'm presuming it refers to nuclear arms.As of 2012, the three countries with the largest stockpiles of nuclear weapons are, in order from most to least:RussiaUnited StatesFrance
In the most basic sense, proliferation of nuclear weapons is the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons usable technology in the world. In a much broader sense, it refers to the acquiring of capability to produce nuclear weapons, or weapons-grade nuclear material (high-enriched uranium, plutonium) by states previously not possessing them.
The most powerful.
