  Well, they haven't conducted any since 1996. > Since the treaty's opening for signature in 1996, only sixteen nuclear tests have been conducted, all by non-signatory states: Pokhran-II by India and Chagai-I by Pakistan in May 1998, and six tests by North Korea from 2006 to 2017.

    Why were nuclear explosions harmless before 1996?

      They weren't. Hence the treaty.
