How much does an atomic bomb test cost?
That depends mostly on the instrumentation you want to collect data on the test blast. The bomb itself is cheap.
What was the yield of the Trinity Atomic Bomb Test?
Trinity is usually estimated at 20 kilotons.
What are the differences between the test atomic bomb and the real one?
The main difference is test devices often have no casing, but this may not be true as some tests were done with the full operational military bomb (e.g. Crossroads Able in 1946 was a test involving dropping a MK-III bomb identical to Fatman from a B-29 over Bikini Atoll).
What famous quote did the man who invented the Atom bomb say after the bomb went off?
I am become death, The Shatterer of Worlds. [Quoting from the 2,000-year-old Bhagavad Gita of India at the instant the first test atomic device exploded.]
Where did the nuclear explosion happen?
There have been over a thousand nuclear explosions on Earth since they were invented. If you know how to use Google Earth, the very first nuclear explosion took place at the Trinity test site at 33o40'38"N 106o28'94"W. Type these numbers into the "fly to" window (33 40 37 N 106 28 29 W)" If you find this and your map is facing north, you can also see a small crater just below and to the right. This is where 100 tons of TNT (Tri-Nitro-Toluene) were exploded to calibrate the first atomic bomb. The first atomic bomb used in war was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6th1945. This was a uranium bomb. The second, and last used in war thankfully, was dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki 3 days later on August 9th. After that, many test explosions were detonated. The largest atomic bomb on Earth was detonated by the Soviet Union and was 57Megatons or the same as 57 million tons of TNT.

What makes hiroshima so important?
It was the site chosen to test the first atomic bomb.
Why was the atomic bomb test in area51?
Atomic bombs were NEVER tested in area 51. Area 51 is not part of the nevada test site, it is an Airforce test area for classified aircraft.
What information did President Truman keep from Stalin at the Potsdam Conference?

no one.
The first atomic bomb leveled approximately square miles.?
the first atomic bomb leveled nothing. That was exploded at the Trinity test site. The first bomb used in war was at Hiroshima Japan, and pretty much destroyed everything in a 3 mile radius. That is just over 7 square miles.
What was Nevada's role in the creation and production of the atomic bomb?
Nevada neither participated in the creation nor production of the atomic bomb. However both atomic bombs and reduced yield hydrogen bombs were tested at the Nevada Test Site north of Las Vegas from 1951 to 1992 (above ground atmospheric tests ended in 1962). The test results were used by the design labs (Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore) to optimize the bombs and design variants of existing bombs. The Nevada Test Site does continue to be used for underground subcritical atomic device testing to get data for optimization of computer models used for atomic bomb design.
What are some historic sites in New Mexico?
Trinity Test Site, where the first atomic bomb was tested on July 16, 1945Santa FeLos Alamosetc.
