Description Trinity Site - site of the first nuclear explosion. It was impressive to see, and quite a privilege. There are only two open house days a year, the first Saturdays of April and October. Only about 2,500 people attended this day, so not that many people have been here. Located in such a desolate (obviously why) area and takes about 1.25 hours to get to. My heart sank when I noticed some Japanese visitors amongst the many Americans. Some of the radiated trinkets on display from the first time capsule opened at the decade mark; a pack of cigarette (ironic - die from lung cancer or radiation poisoning?) some equipment and obviously a Geiger counter. Funny; when measuring the radiation from some collected trinitite - the glass formed from desert sand - it barely registered, but when put against a common everyday glow-in-the-dark clock it ticked vigorously; means we live around more irradiatiated common items in a day-to-day life than from the blast site. In the picture with the bomb is a casing for another nuclear device, one of 120 ever made. Labeled the MK-III, this one is the same as the one dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
