THERE HAVE BEEN ABOUT 2600 of them set off,,,, now granted they have been spread out over the years but there is still the fallout from them where did it go it had to come down somewhere
maybe we are getting all uptight for nothing,,,
unless you are in the blast zone

Are you being serious? Nuclear war is a BIG thing! Even if you are not in the actual blast zone, you need to worry about how the wind blows.
there have been 2600 of them set off and quite a few in Nevada,,,, California should be fried
I can't do anything about it,, I just wanted to point out that these being set off is nothing new,,,, and we are all still right here
All but a few in the dessert where detonated underground.

927 other nuclear tests, including 99 that were likewise atmospheric, or above ground.
what I do know is I don't want to be close to one when it goes off

I wouldn't either . . . GG, but I do find it VERY SAD that our own Government didn't give anyone who may be effected the heads up. Keep that in mind for the future. . . They will not say anything before SHTF! They are only out for themselves so they have enough time to get in their underground bunkers.
So 12% above ground
that is about right,,,,,,
my closest target is Newark Arkansas,,, I have no idea what is there, but I am well ,,, outside the blast zone as for fallout, I doubt anyplace is safe from that,,,,
the good thing I am old so even if they do nuke us I still might get to die of old age

Prevailing wind from the west. Colorado and NM should be fried.
I have spent the last 15 minutes digging to see what is there,,,,it was a National Guard Armory and it is Batesville Arkansas
they closed it in 1998,,, so maybe it is no longer a target

A lot of the targets have changed. Grew up in a city that used to be #9 on the list because of the tech. Now they aren’t even on the list.

That is an excellent question!
So apparently, we have all been exposed to radioactive isotopes from the testing.

The vast majority of the tests took place with far smaller, less sophisticated bombs than we have today.

From what I have read; Part of the difference is where they tested. There were very few fine particulates from fires in the testing (deserts, water) so it affects how high the radioactive particles are swept up in the mushroom cloud to the upper level winds which then spread it. Without the fine particulates it did not effect the sun exposure as a wildfire might.

Agreed, and not just with nuclear detonation...
