Step-by-step explanation:

The first-ever nuclear bomb was detonated in New Mexico, at the Alamogordo Test Range. Nicknamed the “gadget”, the plutonium-based implosion-type device yielded 19 kilotons, creating a crater over 300 metres wide. The test site after detonation: a crater of fused soil, also known as “Trinite” radiates from ground zero.
