Above-ground atomic tests
1951
Nye County, Nevada

A hundred atmospheric detonations were set off sixty-five miles from the city between 1951 and 1962, and hotels advertised the flash as a dawn attraction with rooftop breakfasts and an Atomic Cocktail. Fallout drifted east over Utah communities later called downwinders. A further 828 tests went off underground.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
