The Nevada Test Site is located in Mercury, 60 miles from Las Vegas. Over the 41 years of testing at the Nevada Test Site, 100 atomic bombs were detonated above ground from airplanes, towers, cannons and balloons; 828 tests were conducted underground, including Boxcar (on April 26, 1968), a 1.3 megaton blast with an equivalent yield of 65 Hiroshima bombs.  

Despite a moratorium on testing, the United States continues to develop its nuclear weapons program. The Nevada Test Site remains operational and resumption of nuclear testing is under debate.

" ... The United States and other countries conducted more than 500 nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere. During these tests, radioactive particles and gases were spread in the atmosphere. Depending on the size and type of weapon that was exploded, some of these particles and gases traveled great distances before falling to earth (called fallout) where people could be exposed to the radiation. Radioactive fallout was deposited all over the world, so many people were exposed to it. Even today, radioactive fallout is present in all parts of the world."
