Small Boy was a nuclear bomb test conducted 14 July 1962 at the United States of America's Nevada Test Site.
It was part of Operation Sunbeam, which tested small, "tactical" nuclear warheads.
The chief milestone of Operation Sunbeam was that it was the last nuclear test series on the Nevada Test Site conducted in the atmosphere by the United States.
Since Operation Sunbeam, specifically the Little Feller 1 test of the Davy Crockett, all US nuclear tests on the Test Site have been carried out underground in accordance with the Partial Test Ban Treaty.
