About this book

Trinity Site: 1945-1995, from White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, describes a National Historic Landmark, and its contents list The Manhattan Project, The Theory, Building a test site, Jumbo, Bomb Assembly, The test and After the explosion. Trinity Site, where the world's first atomic bomb was exploded in 1945, is normally open to the public twice a year, on the first Saturday in April and October.

The text says that a U.S. adult receives an average exposure of 90 milliroentgens every year from natural and medical sources, and lists one hour at ground zero as 1/2 mrem. The text also says that Trinitite, the green, glassy substance found in the area, is still radioactive and must not be picked up. On July 12 the two hemispheres of plutonium were carried to the George McDonald ranch house just two miles from ground zero, and Brig. Gen. Thomas Farrell was asked to sign a receipt for the plutonium.
