Lots of open unused land already set aside by the US for military uses just north of Las Vegas, NV.
The atomic bomb at Trinity was an implosion design plutonium device or bomb.
A pure fission atomic bomb with a yield of a megaton or more is theoretically impossible. The problem is that the chain reaction would happen spontaneously before the device could even be completely built and the bomb parts would melt, resulting in a fizzle and killing everyone building it.The first fusion atomic bomb (commonly called a hydrogen bomb) was tested in 1952 as Ivy Mike and had a 10 megaton yield. The highest yield pure fission atomic bomb ever built was also tested in 1952 as Ivy King and had a 500 kilotons yield.
The atomic bomb is an artefact, and so an invention. Maybe you meant to ask who invented the atomic bomb ?
he did not build the atomic bomb
The first hydrogen bomb "Ivy Mike" was tested in 1952.
The atomic bomb at Trinity was an implosion design plutonium device or bomb.
I know of no atomic bomb tests done in Arizona.
A- bomb stands for Atomic Bomb, first tested and used in WWII.
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.
it worked

the first atomic bomb was tested July 16 1945 in New Mexico
The original atomic bomb testing ground was in Almogordo, New Mexico.
1945
Yes. New Mexico during the predawn hours of July 16, 1945. was where the first atomic bomb was tested.
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.
