'''List of Nuclear Weapons Tests''' refers to the chronological documentation of all [[nuclear weapons]] tests conducted by various nations since the inception of nuclear technology. The list includes both atmospheric and underground tests, carried out for both military and civilian purposes.

== Overview ==
[[Nuclear weapons tests]] are experiments carried out to understand the effectiveness, yield, and explosive capability of nuclear weapons. These tests have been conducted by several nations since the mid-20th century, with the first nuclear test, codenamed [[Trinity (nuclear test)|Trinity]], conducted by the United States in 1945.

== Types of Nuclear Tests ==
Nuclear tests can be broadly classified into two categories: atmospheric and underground.

=== Atmospheric Tests ===
[[Atmospheric nuclear testing]] involves detonating nuclear devices in the atmosphere. These tests can further be divided into high-altitude tests and low-altitude tests. The [[Partial Test Ban Treaty]] of 1963 largely put an end to atmospheric testing due to the harmful effects of radioactive fallout.

=== Underground Tests ===
[[Underground nuclear testing]] involves detonating nuclear devices beneath the surface of the Earth. These tests are generally considered safer as they limit the amount of radioactive fallout released into the atmosphere.

== Notable Nuclear Tests ==
Several nuclear tests have had significant impacts on the development of nuclear weapons and international relations. Some of these include:

* [[Trinity (nuclear test)|Trinity]]: The first nuclear test conducted by the United States in 1945.
* [[Operation Crossroads]]: A series of nuclear weapon tests conducted by the United States at Bikini Atoll in mid-1946.
* [[Operation Grapple]]: A series of British nuclear tests of early atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs carried out in 1957 and 1958.
* [[Tsar Bomba]]: The most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated, tested by the Soviet Union in 1961.

== Nuclear-Testing Nations ==
The following nations have conducted nuclear tests:

* [[United States]]
* [[Soviet Union]]
* [[United Kingdom]]
* [[France]]
* [[China]]
* [[India]]
* [[Pakistan]]
* [[North Korea]]

== See Also ==
* [[Nuclear proliferation]]
* [[Effects of nuclear explosions]]
* [[Nuclear disarmament]]
* [[Nuclear-weapon-free zone]]
