How do governments and militaries test out nuclear weapons without creating disastrous effects on the environment/ecosystem?

Just like the title says, I don’t understand how they can test nuclear bombs in the desert, or Bikini Atoll (in the ocean) without permanently irradiating the ecosystem (and consequently, Earth) beyond repair.

They’ve tested dozens and dozens of nuclear bombs throughout the years, and I’m confused why that hasn’t messed our world up?

Sometimes they just nuke the fuck out of the place and then Green Peace reluctantly moves the people later so they don’t die of radiation exposure. Look into bikini atoll and specifically Rongelap/The Exodus project
