Desert rock

Desert Rock is a nickname for the Nevada Test Site, where the United States conducted nuclear weapons tests primarily during the 1950s and 1960s. Located in Nevada's desert, these tests involved detonating nuclear bombs underground or above ground to study their effects and improve military capabilities. The site became known as "Desert Rock" because of its remote desert location and its significance in nuclear weapons development. Today, the area is a reminder of nuclear history, with some remnants and ongoing environmental monitoring to understand the long-term impact of these tests.
