Been to the nuclear museum in Albuquerque?

I strongly recommend to chat up some of those old timers sitting around there as guides! Many are retired USN, USAF or actual scientists that worked with nukes.

In 1966 (or 1967?), I went to the original museum in Los Alamos, and it was fascinating. In particular, I learned how they instrumented underground bomb tests.

They put various measuring devices underground “near” the bomb — and collected data for the few milliseconds before the devices were vaporized or otherwise destroyed.
