That depends mostly on the instrumentation you want to collect data on the test blast. The bomb itself is cheap.
The atomic bomb test site was named the Trinity Test Site. It was located in New Mexico, USA, and was where the first atomic bomb was successfully detonated on July 16, 1945.
The atomic bomb tested at the Trinity test site in New Mexico during World War II was a plutonium-based implosion-type bomb known as "Gadget." This test marked the first detonation of a nuclear weapon.
The first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945, during the Trinity test in New Mexico as part of the Manhattan Project.
The main difference is test devices often have no casing, but this may not be true as some tests were done with the full operational military bomb (e.g. Crossroads Able in 1946 was a test involving dropping a MK-III bomb identical to Fatman from a B-29 over Bikini Atoll).
Trinity is usually estimated at 20 kilotons.

The test location of the first atomic bomb was located in California as it was known as the Manhattan Project.
The first atomic bomb test took place on April 16th, 1945. It was much too late to change the course of the war, but cost the US gov't more than $2B (more than $22B in today's dollars) and hundreds of thousands of workers; 130,000 to be specific.
no one.
The reason was the cost and the amount of work put on the bomb.
