Items of interest:

How many nuclear explosions have happened on Earth?, and I’ll add “since 1944” to eliminate any possible bizarre compression of uranium when the planet was young.

Most people say 20 or 40, testing etc.

Answer: 2056 incl the recent N Korea events. Yes, that’s a lot.

Question: how many nuclear bombs/warheads have been lost (at sea, of course)?

Answer: about 50. Classified info makes it uncertain but this is the most popular estimate. Armed planes were lost over the side of aircraft carriers. Submarines with many missiles sank. Planes crashed. 50 — sitting down there with the shell around the plutonium getting corrosion by the sea, relentless.
