December 18, 1950
Atomic
Bombs in Nevada
President
Truman ordered the establishment of the Nevada Proving Ground so that nuclear
weapons testing could be performed within the continental United States, and
the American stockpile of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs could be rapidly
increased during the national emergency.
There
were five proposed locations, all of them federally owned, and the other four
choices were at White Sands in New Mexico; Dugway Proving Ground in Utah; a
fifty-mile strip of land between Fallon and Eureka, Nevada; and Pamlico Sound
near Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.
Six
weeks after the selection, an atomic bomb would be detonated at Frenchman Flat
on January 27, 1951.
