The last U.S. above-ground (atmospheric) test was in 1963. The last U.S. underground test was in 1992. The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (signed by many major powers) ended testeing of all kinds, atmospheric or underground, in 1992. The U.S. models (with supercomputers) characteristics of nuclear weapons 'explosions' in order to 'test' its weapons designs.
July 16, 1945 was the first nuclear bomb test by the United States.

yes, several. all low yield underground test devices.
I believe the first underground nuclear test explosion was done by the US at the Nevada Test Site. However it was not intended to contain the blast or radiation. It was an effects shot to evaluate cratering, the bomb was only 3 feet underground. It was part of the 1955 Teapot series.

China's first nuclear test took place in 1964 and first hydrogen bomb test occurred in 1967.

the UK did some of its nuclear weapon test shots there.
The Trinity Test was the first test of a nuclear device. The bomb detonated at the trinity test was an implosion-type plutonium bomb nicknamed 'the gadget' the bomb was the same type of bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki Japan.
Prohibits nuclear weapon test explosions and any other nuclear explosions in three environments: in the atmosphere, in outer space and underwater, but does not prohibit underground nuclear explosions
