Not sure it's an anniversary I would celebrate

Great... Another 20th century day where they exploded a big load of radionuclides into the atmosphere.

Nuclear power might be a necessary calculated risk but nuclear weapons still threaten to wipe us all out of ever used in anger and nuclear testing unquestionably increased cancer risks.

The sheer number of tests carried out, especially in the 60s and 70s is just frightening and the absolute arrogance of those who did them Is even worse.
