The Trinity Site, in the then named the Alamogordo Bombing Range near Socorro, New Mexico, was the location of the first explosion of an atomic weapon. It was based on the implosion of a Plutonium bomb facilitated by a “gadget” that required testing. The test was successful and an Atomic Bomb based on this design (called the Fat Man) was exploded over Nagasaki, Japan on August 9, 1945.
