Trinity was the first test of technology for an atomic weapon. It was conducted by the united states on July 16, 1945, at a location 35 miles (56 km) southeast of socorro, New Mexico on the white sands proving ground, headquartered near Alamogordo.Trinity was a test of an implosion-design plutonium device. Using the same conceptual design, the fat man device was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9. The Trinity detonation was equivalent to the explosion of around 20 kilotons of TNT and is usually considered the beginning of the atomic age.

How does nuclear power hurt when it explodes?
A nuclear power station can not create a nuclear explosion. What CAN happen is that hydrogen could build up inside of the containment dome and if the build up becomes too intense, it can cause a hydrogen explosion, like the one in Japan recently. This explosion is dangerous only if you are close to it and are hit by the concussion or by the debris that is flying from the explosion. If this explosion is too large, it can damage the containment dome surrounding the reactor and this, in turn, releases some radioactive gases.
