The first atomic weapon test took place 35 miles southeast of Socorro,NM. [July 2008 population: 8,989], on the White Sands Proving Ground, on July 16, 1945. The test was called "Trinity", and the weapons code name was "The Gadget".
The Gadget, tested at the Trinity site July 16, 1945. It was the prototype of the MK-III Fatman later dropped on Nagasaki (the third bomb detonated).
it was first tested in the Nevada desert, near Las Vegas just in the run up to the end of world war 2. Correction, the first atom bomb tested was at Trinity site, NM July 16, 1945 just before dawn (now inside White Sands Missile Range) on a 100 foot tall tower. The Nevada Test Site was not created until 1951.
The Trinity site is now hardly radioactive, actually you would get more radiation poisoning from sitting near a television for a few hours than from being at the trinity site overnight. So basically the Trinity site is no more radioactive than Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
