TRINITY SITE

The nuclear age began with the detonation of the world's first atomic bomb at the Trinity Site on July 16. 1945.The site may have been named Trinity by J. Robert Oppenheimer, director of the Los Alamos Nuclear Physics Laboratory, who said at the blast,"Now, I am become Death and destroyer of world's," quoting from the Bhagavad Gita. The detonation of the bomb marked the culmination of the Manhattan Project.
