Animated map of nuclear explosions, 1945-1998

Allan David - 2010-08-13

Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto's "1945-1998" is an animated map showing the 2,053 nuclear explosions that took place around the world during the 20th century, from the detonations at Alamogordo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 to the tests conducted by India and Pakistan in 1998.

The month and year are displayed in top right corner, and the number of nuclear explosions for each country appear next to the flags in the margins. The total is displayed in the bottom right corner.

The numbers reveal that, on average, 1 nuclear explosion occurred every 9.6 days during the 54-year period, with the greatest activity in 1958 and 1962.

The time map does not include the two nuclear tests conducted by North Korea in October 2006 and May 2009, nor does it include the dozens of subcritical nuclear tests (explosions that do not produce a sustained nuclear chain reaction) conducted in recent years by the US/UK and Russia.

wow over 2000 times chipping away at the old earth magnet. No wonder we have holes in our atmosphere.

France: "Alright, no one's doing anything, I guess I should test some nukes."
USA and USSR: "NUKES? OH YEAH, THOSE."

Natya Orlandievna d'Avelino - 2018-11-26

Well, more like France: "Well, let's suppose these or other guys throw it on Europe as they have thrown it already on other folks? It's really horrible, it's sad, it's against our principles, and anything we exist for. It's against what we do and represent in the world. But any other barbarian is going to do this shit too, and we got to be able to defend these Chagalls, Mona Lisa, other painters and artists, and all the rest of all the nice people and civilization around. We got to defend +10.000 years of civilization present in the Louvre, and millions of souls. So Yeah, we got to defend for Peace or in case of a necessary counter-attack.". And for the rest, you're exactly right.

@Natya Orlandievna d'Avelino Like as if in a nuclear war they would actually be able to protect anything at all. What a joke. Everything would be gone. France would be obliterated.

Michael Miles - 2019-05-22

USA: We have successfully irradiated the South Pacific!
France: Hold my beer.

Don't, dear: fight. That's the only fight worth to fight.

Nuclear weapons will destroy the world!

Michael Miles - 2019-05-22

Insanity. I had no idea there were so many, and people worry about radiation from Fukushima, what a joke.

Josh E - 2020-03-19

Because Fukushima and Chernobyl are above ground with the ability to release a lot more radiation. Do some research dumbass.

Tukemuth - 2013-11-07

Jeez, as if those were firecrackers

poopedcheetah2 - 2011-09-12

this is great...its amazing how you can almost see current events effecting the frequency of tests...non-nuclear wars, obviously, like Korea and Vietnam you can see a cut off and then extreme increase at the outset of war...you can see all the posturing by the US and USSR, so many were almost like tit for tat...we blow one and then they have to blow one...you can see the Chernobyl accident and how it stopped tests for two years almost..the cuban missle crysis is another hot time frame naturally

When you have a few minutes look up the treaty situation there were some 20 or so treaties created, negotiated, signed and scrapped over the 60 years of time. It all becomes even more obvious.

日本人の「核廃絶」核兵器廃絶の訴えなんて、何の意味もない。

Take a moment to reflect the lunatic behavior that is supposedly in the public interest. It is no wonder that we and our environment are sick. Someone has to stop this lunacy across the board and that's us folks, the minority known as the majority!
