There have not been any attacks using atomic bombs or missiles since World War II (as of today, May 4th, 2011). There have however, been many nuclear weapons tests - where controlled explosions have been conducted. Most of these have occurred underground to reduce nuclear fallout.
The first complete test was July 16, 1945; but there had been many component tests performed prior to that, the most significant and dangerous had been the RaLa implosion tests and the criticality tests.
The only time a nuclear bomb has been 'used' to attack anyone was at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Subsequently the US, Russia, and UK all carried out above ground tests, before all tests started to be done underground. Recently North Korea detonated a nuclear bomb as an underground test but will never launch one because then Russia would launch a nuke at Korea causing massive nuclear war. This would depend on where N Korea sent its bomb, I don't know why they would attack Russia and it would be suicide if they did. Their most likely target would be S Korea.
August 5th, 1963 Three of the four nuclear powers sign a limited treaty that bans most, but not all, nuclear weapons testing. The 1963 treaty only banned "Atmospheric" tests (in the air, space, and underwater) not "most". Testing just moved underground and continued at about the same pace, maybe even faster for a while.
Russia
Nevada.
Illinois I think, it has the most nuclear plants

Illinois generates the most nuclear electric power in the United States. It has the highest number of nuclear power plants and relies heavily on nuclear energy to meet its electricity needs.
Russia, of course.
Yes. Most definitly,!

There has never been a nuclear war. There were 2 nuclear attacks at the end of WW2 that convinced the Japanese to surrender.
Most commonly are blood glucose levels and metabolic tests related to glucose level, and nuclear medicine cardiac studies.
It is unlikely for a nuclear bomb or reaction to blow up a whole state. The explosive power of a nuclear bomb is devastating, but the physical size of a typical state is much larger. The impact of a nuclear explosion would be significant within a certain radius, but it would not cover an entire state.
