Try the following:

	gopher://wealaka.okgeosurvey1.gov:70/11/nuke.cat

It is a catalog of over 1900 nuclear tests worldwide and provides
the following information for each:

	- Date of blast
	- Time of blast
	- Testing Party
	- Test or explosion site
	- Test subsite
 	- Type of test
	- Seismic body (P) wave magnitude
	- Seismic surface wave magnitude
	- Yield in Kilotons
	- Latitude
	- Longitude
	- Purpose
	- Device Type
	- Rock type if underground test
	- Above or below water table
	- Name of explosion
	- Generalized References

Enjoy,
