Just curious. I know that it is upwards of 200, but i'm not entirely sure.

I don't think the 50's and early 60's tests have much to do with cancer today, excepting the poor grunts who "got to watch the test up close"? The last US above-ground test was a long time ago. The last one in the continental US even longer ago.
US Tests since 1963 have been underground. Recent tests have been DEEP underground.
Sadly, the French have done more testing.
Hey, if you want to meet a real cancer provider, visit your local BK for a flame-broiled (nitrosamine-enhanced) Whopper. Or, check out the cigarette display at the local chain drug store. Hell, they even make money on the back end selling you drugs once you get the cancer!
