During the cold war, all through the 1970's and 1980's they tested a nuke in the Nevada desert every other week. We aren't we all dead from that.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1322708The amount of material is the reason.You realize every nuclear test ever done was roughly 6000 megatons.1-2 KG of plutonium =a megaton. • Reactor No. 1: 50 tons of nuclear fuel • Reactor No. 2: 81 tons • Reactor No. 3: 88 tons • Reactor No. 4: 135 tons • Reactor No. 5: 142 tons • Reactor No. 6: 151 tons • Also, a separate ground-level fuel pool contains 1,097 tons of fuel; and some 70 tons of nuclear materials are kept on the grounds in dry storage. Source* [ link to www.scientificamerican.com] or roughly 1,814,000 megatons worth divide by 1/4 to get actual megatons of pure plutonium and you get 453,500 or 75 times the megatons of every nuclear explosion on the planet.
