Animated map of nuclear explosions, 1945-1998
Most of the testing was done at the Nevada Test Range. Today this is probably the most polluted place in the US. Check it out on google maps, the place looks like the surface of the moon. Area 51, incidentally is very close to that area as well.

Thanks for that link, it's amazing to me that they detonated that many nukes underground in that grid like pattern.
