The United States conducted atomic bomb tests primarily on Bikini Atoll and Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. These tests were part of the series known as Operation Crossroads and other subsequent operations during the mid-20th century. The environmental and health impacts of these tests have had lasting effects on the local populations and ecosystems.

Where did the US test atomic bombs?
The United States tested atomic bombs primarily at the Nevada Test Site, now known as the Nevada National Security Site, starting in 1951. Additionally, the first atomic bomb was detonated during the Trinity Test in New Mexico on July 16, 1945. Other tests were conducted in the Pacific, particularly at the Bikini Atoll and Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands, during the 1940s and 1950s.
How many times has an atomic bomb been dropped?
The US dropped 50 atomic bombs from airplanes between 1945 and 1962 (2 in combat on Japan, 48 in test shots). Over 1000 were detonated in other ways in test shots between 1945 and 1992. The USSR, UK, and France also dropped atomic bombs from airplanes and detonated many in other ways in test shots (but never used any in combat).
Was the atomic bomb made in 1944 - 1947?
The atomic bomb was developed during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project, which began in 1942. The first successful test of an atomic bomb, known as the Trinity Test, occurred on July 16, 1945. The bombs were subsequently dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Thus, while the project spanned several years, the actual bombs were created and tested in 1945, not between 1944 and 1947.

What was Nevada's role in the creation and production of the atomic bomb?
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.
How long ago were the atomic bombs dropped?
The only time atomic bombs were dropped in combat was in 1945.The last time either the US or USSR dropped an atomic bomb for test purposes was in 1963.When my brother was in the army in Germany doing maneuvers with nuclear antitank landmines, he dropped an atomic bomb on his hand squashing one finger like a stepped on hotdog.
