A better solution to having the information in OSM is a wikipedia link with information about past nuclear events. That keeps with the spirit of OSM yet provides a link to relevant information. Not knowing which sites are tagged with past nuclear events, it hard to say if there is a node or polygon to tag. A number of tests were conducted on Pacific islands. The island polygon could include a link to wikipedia. Tests that were conducted inland, Nevada, for example, may or may not have any nodes. I don't know if any artifacts remain.
