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.
Australian Outback.

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.
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.
to test nuclear weapons
The UK was the third country to obtain nuclear weapons, after the US and the USSR. The UK had its first successful nuclear weapon test in October 1952, a plutonium warhead similar to the one dropped on Nagasaki.
