The main one is the Nevada Test Site north of Las Vegas. The Trinity Site in White Sands, NM is where the first test was done. A few underwater shots were tested in the Pacific SW of San Diego, CA. About half a dozen states have one or more sites for various Project Plowshare (Atoms for Peace) tests.

Where was the first large-scale nuclear test site in the us?

The Pacific Test Range starting with Bikini Atoll in 1946 with Operation Crossroads. It eventually expanded to encompass Eniwetok Atoll, Johnston Island, and several other Islands and Atolls. The largest device tested was the Castle Bravo shot in 1954 at 15 Mtons. The Nevada Test Site north of Las Vegas started in 1951 as the official continental test site with Operation Ranger. The largest device tested was the Plumbob Pricilla shot in 1957 at 78 Ktons. The Plumbob series also included a failed underground "safety test" that launched its 4 inch thick steel "manhole cover" at a speed documented at greater than escape velocity, making it the first manmade object to launch from the earth's surface at greater than escape velocity (although it definitely melted from friction before leaving the atmosphere and fell back).

What obstacles did African Americans face when they tried to register to vote?

Rosa tried several times to register to vote. Blacks were not allowed to register as easily as white people. They had to take a literacy test before they were given their voter's registration. They also were only given certain days to register, usually at times when they were at work. The black people also needed a white person to vouch for them, to say that they were worthy to vote. Another requirement was that they own property. The first time she was turned down, the voter registration worker said that Rosa flunked the literacy test. Rosa knew better than that and on her second try she wrote down all the answers she had written on the 21 question test so she could fight not getting a card the second time, but she didn't need to worry because she passed the second test and received her card. i suck peanuts and penis with a taste of butt
