Data used for this website was gathered from Nuclear Explosions 1945 - 1998 from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute by Nils-Olov Bergkvist and Ragnhild Ferm and many pages on Wikipedia.

This site was inspiried by the video created by Isao Hashimoto. The data I compiled to make this: detonations spreadsheet.
