Seems like Little Boy and Fatman were tests?

No, they are considered weapons, the only two nuclear explosions that are designated a such.

The first nuclear bomb, nicknamed " the Gadget", was detonated at Trinity Site at the Alamogordo Bombing Range (now renamed The White Sands Missile Range) On July 16, 1945, a false dawn lit the dark desert sky in south central New Mexico and the age of nuclear weapons was born. The next two atomic bombs were not considered tests, but weapons, because they obliterated the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing about 350,000 people as an immediate result of the blasts, and brought an abrupt end to World War II.

Hill,

I am a little disconcerted with the location showing for Apple2 and Charlie tests in 1955 and 1952. close but no bananas - my hometown of Pahrump here would have been completely destroyed.

If you have time I can give you the near exact coordinates at the Nevada Test site - I was employed there many years.

Will

Is there an overlay for the Trinity site?

Sorry about Pahrump!!! You and Art Bell and thousands of others. Oh, the humanity....

Someday I'll get back to the folder and readjust the placemarks.
Thanks. the information would be helpful.

Unless Gabon has become amazingly active, some database work is needed at 0 N 9 E.

Five more tests took place prior to 1950 in the Pacific Test Range on and near Bikini and Enewetak Islands, two of the Marshall Islands. By mid-1949 the Soviet Union had joined the "club", detonating its first A-bomb in a remote site.

I found a cluster of your placemarks (Clean Slate I, II, III, & 57/1). They are about 100 miles SE of the proper location of these tests (near Antelope Lake and Silverbow Springs). This is the coordinates of the placemarks where they currently reside:

36�59'56.86"N, 114�59'56.95"W

This is just west of US 93 at the eastern edge of the Tonopah range). This is the rough center of the actual location of the Clean Slate tests:

37�46'9.81"N, 116�40'6.60"W

This is just east of the TTR target flight line... if you zoom in close enough you will see a series of round numbered circles -- targets used during bombing runs. You can verify
the location of these tests using this map of the Tonopah Test Range:

Clean Slate I, II & III

Excelente recopilaciòn!!! Muchas gracias por compartilo!!!
