The first French nuclear test was Gerboise Bleu on February 13, 1960 at 06:04 Greenwich Mean Time. The test was conducted near Reganne in the Algerian Sahara desert in Africa. It was a tower shot from a 105-meter tower. The test device was a single-point implosion-type plutonium device and had a yield of between 60 and 70 kilotons (as predicted). It was the largest first test by the nuclear powers of the time.
Sahara desert, IIRC Algeria.

first USSR nuclear test
The first ever nuclear explosion was a test in New Mexico in 1945
In 1985, the countries known to possess nuclear weapons capabilities included the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, France, and China. Additionally, India had conducted its first nuclear test in 1974, although it was not recognized as a nuclear weapons state under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). South Africa had developed nuclear weapons but dismantled its program in the early 1990s. Other nations, such as Israel, were widely believed to have nuclear weapons, although they maintained a policy of ambiguity.

The code name for the first nuclear weapons test was "Trinity." It took place on July 16, 1945, in the New Mexico desert as part of the Manhattan Project.
The Manhattan Project WW2. First test and use in 1945, test in NewMexico, use at Hiroshima, Japan.
India conducted its first nuclear weapons test, codenamed "Smiling Buddha," on May 18, 1974. This made India the first country outside of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council to possess nuclear weapons.
India conducted its first nuclear test in 1974 to demonstrate its ability to develop nuclear weapons technology. The test, known as "Smiling Buddha," was considered a strategic move to establish India's nuclear deterrence capabilities in the region.
