British Nuclear tests at Maralinga occurred between 1956 and 1963 at the Maralinga site part of the Woomera Prohibited Area in South Australia and about 800 kilometres north-west of Adelaide. A total of seven nuclear tests were performed with approximate yields ranging from 1 to 27 kilotonnes of TNT (4.2 to 113.0 TJ). The site was also used for hundreds of minor trials many of which were intended to investigate the effects of fire or non-nuclear explosions on atomic weapons.
