No nuclear ordnance was ever used against Spain. You're probably thinking of the Broken Arrow incident in January 1966 over the Mediterranean, off the coast of Spain. A US B52G bomber collided with the KC135 tanker it was refueling from, causing extensive damage to the aircraft and the loss of four B28RI hydrogen bombs. Three landed on land, and it caused the non-nuclear explosives to detonate, which contaminated about a 3/4 square mile area with plutonium near the village of Palomares. The fourth went into the sea, and was recovered a couple months later.

#1: Truman knew he would almost certainly have been impeached and convicted when the war finally ended in late 1946 as a traitor for having available a weapon that had cost over $2,000,000,000 to develop that could have shortened the war by more than a year and saved over 1,000,000 US soldier's lives and never using it. He simply had no choice politically or militarily.The US public was getting impatient to see the war end.etc.If necessary we had the production schedule and facilities operating to drop not just the 2 nuclear bombs that were dropped on Japan, but a total of 23 nuclear bombs could have been dropped on Japan in 1945 alone and probably several times that in 1946 if they didn't surrender.
