I think it is important to get some sort of perspective.

The nuclear club
North Korea will become the eighth country in the world to have openly conducted nuclear tests, if its own report on Monday that it detonated a nuclear device underground is confirmed. More than 2.000 nuclear tests have been conducted worldwide by the seven acknowledged nuclear powers: the United States, Russia, England, France, China, India, Pakistan. Israel is widely believed to have nuclear weapons but has never admitted it or carried out a public test.

most recent; 1992

2. Russia

3. England
