Many people will never forget the horrors of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the sight of history s first use of nuclear weapons. However, it is a twist of irony that there is less talk about the testing of more WMDs after WW2.
Among these include the testing of atomic weapons right in the wide expanse of the Australian outback. The most well-known tests happened in the heart of Maralinga, conducted by the British government sometime during early years of the Cold War. Official statements say that there were seven of these tests (with the last one being around 1963, just as the tests came under bigger scrutiny and criticism from the public).
