    As my boyfriend points out, the reason we don't live in a nuclear wasteland as is that no radioactive materials were kicked up into the atmosphere during these tests. But it is alarming and sobering to see how many bombs have been exploded. Just think about how many haven't been.

    Incomplete. What about all of the nuclear explosions before 1945?
