Interesting points from Dick VK3ABK. He's right that most people from the
UK have no sense of scale of the size of countries like the US and Aus.
IIRC the UK tests done in VK were of early fission weapons. The big stuff
the megaton fusion whoppers were done at Bikini and other Pacific Islands.
I'm not sure that the US ever tested fusion weapons above ground in the
states, they too tested at Bikini. It would be hazardous to consider
testing above ground fusion weapons after the Americans scared themselves
silly with the yield they got from "Shot Mike" in the early fifties.
I dont think those concerns were paramount though, as the USSR let many
'big ones' of in Kazahkstan in the 50's and 60's.

Rainbow Warrior spings to mind :-)
