The RDS-1 (Russian: РДС-1), also known as Izdeliye 501 (device 501) and First Lightning (Russian: Пе́рвая мо́лния, tr. Pérvaya mólniya, IPA: [ˈpʲervəjə ˈmolnʲɪjə]), was the nuclear bomb used in the Soviet Union's first nuclear weapon test. The United States assigned it the code-name Joe-1, in reference to Joseph Stalin. It was detonated on 29 August 1949 at 7:00 a.m., at Semipalatinsk Test Site, Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, after top-secret research and development as part of the Soviet atomic bomb project.
