Video: visualization of all nuclear tests from 1945 to 1998

Thanks to Håvard, I came across this wonderful video by Isao Hashimoto[1]. It’s a vizualisation, video game-style, of all nuclear explosions since 1945.

The data was gathered by Nils-Olov Bergkvist and Ragnhild Ferm for their report “Nuclear Explosions 1945-1998”, copublished by FOI and SIPRI.
