Two-thirds of all Soviet test - 468 nuclear explosions were conducted at the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site (STS), including 125 bombings - on the ground and in the air. Hundreds of thousands of Central and Eastern Kazakhstan in the 50 years of the twentieth century regularly observed this horrible sight - a huge mushroom cloud in the sky. As a result of years of testing nuclear weapons in the atmosphere has been thrown a huge amount of radioactive substances.
