Nuclear tests

Nuclear tests are experiments that scientists and governments perform to understand and develop nuclear weapons or study nuclear reactions. These tests involve detonating a nuclear device either underground, underwater, or in the atmosphere to observe the explosion's power, behavior, and effects. They help researchers improve safety, efficiency, or military capabilities, but also produce significant radioactive fallout, environmental impact, and proliferation concerns. International treaties aim to limit or ban these tests to promote global security and environmental health.
