Inhaltsangabe

Trinity Site: 1945-1995 documents the historical importance of the Trinity Site, the location where the first atomic bomb was detonated in 1945. Prepared by the White Sands Missile Range Public Affairs Office, it traces the significance of the Manhattan Project through the scientific and logistical work that led to the Trinity test. The account describes key milestones associated with the bomb’s preparation, including construction and assembly activities at the McDonald ranch house, culminating in the test on July 16, 1945. It then reflects on the longer-term effects of nuclear technology on human history and on the environment, also addressing the site’s designation as a National Historic Landmark.
