Excerpt
Excerpt: Two nuclear weapons that the United States exploded over Japan ending World War II are not listed. These detonations were not ?tests? in the sense that they were conducted to prove that the weapon would work as designed (as was the first test near Alamogordo, New Mexico on July 16, 1945), or to advance nuclear weapon design, or to determine weapons effects, or to verify weapon safety as were the more than one thousand tests that have taken place since June 30, 1946.
