The US has performed almost 10,000 nuclear tests, one can assume that the USSR has also performed a similar number. No other countries have performed more than a couple hundred nuclear tests.
Not all of these tests produced a nuclear explosion (e.g. some failed, some were "safety tests" designed to prove that safety systems would prevent an unwanted explosion, some were subcritical tests), but even then we are talking about many thousands of nuclear explosions. Much of this information is still classified and thus not publicly available.
Then there were the three bombs exploded during World War 2: the Trinity Test in New Mexico and the two bombs dropped in combat over Japan (Hiroshima & Nagasaki).
There have not been any attacks using atomic bombs or missiles since World War II (as of today, May 4th, 2011). There have however, been many nuclear weapons tests - where controlled explosions have been conducted. Most of these have occurred underground to reduce nuclear fallout.
The atomic bomb explosions on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war.
The atomic bomb was developed in the middle of the 20th century, and has been made since then.
Many people were involved; one of the most famous might have been J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Including atomic shells from cannons, and other devices, approximately two thousand.

Atomosophobia - fear of atomic explosions.
The accepted phobia name for this condition is Atomosophobia.
The three types of atomic explosions are fission, fusion, and dirty bombs. Fission involves the splitting of atomic nuclei, fusion combines atomic nuclei, and dirty bombs involve conventional explosives combined with radioactive materials. Each type of explosion can have different effects and consequences.
The closest thing is Atomosophobia- Fear of atomic explosions.Bear in mind that a phobia is an unreasonable fear of a thing or event- and a fear of explosions may not BE an unreasonable thing.
Nuclear explosions are the result of splitting the atom. It is actually what powers the sun.
While nuclear explosions can release harmful radioactive particles into the atmosphere, they do not directly affect the ozone layer or climate on a global scale. However, the localized environmental impact of these explosions can disrupt ecosystems and have health implications for those in the vicinity.
actually many. look up broken arrow, the US codename for a nuclear weapon accident. none had a nuclear explosion, although many had explosions or fires of chemical explosives.
The atomic bomb explosions on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war.
