So, where did most of the mined uranium ore go to? It went into the production of nuclear weapons. The stuff (Uranium and Plutonium) makes one hell of boom!
 
During the late 40"s all the way in the 60's, the US conducted  numerous nuclear weapons tests in the Nevada desert and in the Pacific Ocean. These pictures represent some of those tests. Feel free to browse the gallery. Click the thumbnail pictures for the larger version, some are very large.
