Actually, they used to test nuclear bombs in Nevada. They detonated quite a few, and conducted some extremely detailed tests to see how buildings, fabrics, and food would hold up. The fallout then blew across the state line into St. George, Utah and now they have an extremely high rate of cancer. We also tested in the south pacific, on the island of Bikini Atoll We know quite a bit about the after effects of nuclear bombs. So much so that a CBRN specialist can plot the nuclear fallout, account for wind speed and direction, and determine which areas will be subjected to fallout and approximately how much.
