No nuclear weapons were detonated globally during the calendar year 1959
Historical and radiological records refute the claim that no nuclear weapons were detonated in 1959, as extensive atmospheric testing occurred throughout the late 1950s.
The retrieved papers document ongoing global atmospheric nuclear testing and resulting fallout throughout the late 1950s, directly contradicting the claim that zero detonations occurred in 1959.

Paper [7] discusses the global fallout period spanning 1958 to 1965, confirming active nuclear detonations and testing during that timeframe.
