When Was The Last Time That The USA Tested A Nuclear Bomb(or weapon)?

Question

I know they tested the A-bomb prior to Nagasaki and Hiroshima. But I am talking about recently.

Well Curt....its certainly no "highly classified" secret re N. Korea now is there?
And why shouldn't we know you silly? Or maybe you like the idea that a "highly classisfied" 'site' could be right around the corner from you.
Go away. Answer a question more in tune to your knowledge.......like the second grade level.

Answer 1

The last nuclear bomb tested by the USA in the atmosphere was in 1962. In 1963, there was signed a Limited Test Ban Treaty that agreed to no testing in the atmosphere, outer space or underwater. However, a couple of countries continued with atmospheric tests up till 1980.

The Treaty did not include underground tests and USA continued these with the last one in 1992.

In total the USA carried out slightly more than 1000 nuclear tests.

As far as them being secret, they are only secret before the explosion. There are too many testing stations around the world checking for seismic activity for a nuclear explosion not to be noticed. A nuclear explosion has a different “footprint” on the instruments that is generally easily recognised. There are only three or four occasions where it is not sure if measured incidents were nuclear tests or not.

Answer 2

There have been 1054 American Nuclear weapons Tested and 2 used in war between July 16, 1945 and September 23, 1992.

Answer 3

We would not know. The government keeps secrets from the public. Look at the alein coverup. Media tries to expose these things but some things are locked up tight.

Answer 4

Look at the alien cover up? HAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA wow.

I don't know why the public would need to know when the US tests weapons anyways. I'm sure all that is HIGHLY classified.

Answer 5

We were stationed on Kirtland AFB, NM which holds most of the US nucular weapons. When they (the nucs) came to the base the roads on base were closed and the nuc weapons were driven onto base and then out to KUMSEC. They did not leave KUMSEC. This is as much As I know about the nuc weapons. There were never any tests on base.

Answer 6

I dont think ever after that, after they saw what they did to those citys and envirement...

Answer 7
