Trinity Site
Samenvatting
A historical account of the first atomic bomb test conducted on July 16, 1945, in the New Mexico desert, this work centers on the Manhattan Project’s Trinity test. It describes why the test was carried out in the Jornada del Muerto Valley and outlines the careful preparations that preceded the detonation, including the assembly of key components and the establishment of observation points. The narrative then moves to the test itself and its immediate aftermath, emphasizing the scale of the event and its impact on the wider context of World War II and nuclear development. It also considers the later legacy of the site, including the creation of the National Atomic Museum to preserve information and artifacts from the Atomic Age.
