Los Alamos
A nuclear research city in north-central New Mexico, USA. Population 11,000 (1990). It is located 38 km northwest of Santa Fe, on a plateau at an altitude of 2,225 m. In 1942, the federal government established an atomic research laboratory based on the Manhattan Project, and in July 1945, the world's first atomic bomb was successfully tested in the desert northwest of Alamogordo. The bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were also manufactured here. After the war, it became the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, where cutting-edge research in nuclear physics, medicine, biology, and other fields is conducted, and the city is mainly home to the laboratory staff.
