What's the cost/benefit of 2053 Atmospheric Nuclear Tests?

This video, which I read about on my friend Paul's Facebook wall, shows every nuclear explosion throughout the world since the first test near Los Alamos, New Mexico, on a time-lapse map.



Watching it brought many questions to mind:  How many people have died or been injured during the creation of these explosions?  What was the total cost of creating these explosions?  What was the overall benefit of these explosions?  Were these explosions necessary?  Will we ever achieve total nuclear disarmament, and renounce the creation and use of these bombs, like Ukraine and South Africa have done?
