Nuclear Explosions Database
Geoscience Australia has a database of every single nuclear explosion conducted since 1945. Details include dates, time, location, yield and so on. 400+ explosions are listed. I came across one new fact via this database. I had always assumed that South Africa was an undeclared nuclear power (like Israel) that later rolled back its nuclear program. Turns out South Africa did conduct an atmospheric test in the southern Indian Ocean in 1979. If you have time, the website also has data on earthquakes, tsunamis and so on.
