How can we have videos and tests of nuclear weapons without the effects of a nuclear bomb going off?

Question

I have seen videos of nuclear testing. The majority of these show testing into the ocean. Are these full nukes? How does the radiation effect the water and the air? Do we still do these kinds of tests?

Answer 1

To see a lot of the tests of actual nuclear weapons, watch the movie Trinity And Beyond. It has a lot of footage taken before, during and after nuclear explosions.
