Visiting the Trinity Site featured in 'Oppenheimer' is a sobering reminder of the horror of nuclear weapons

Retrieved on: 
Monday, July 24, 2023

After watching the film, I was inspired to write about my visit to the actual Trinity Site, where the first atomic bomb was detonated.

Key Points: 
  • After watching the film, I was inspired to write about my visit to the actual Trinity Site, where the first atomic bomb was detonated.
  • As part of my research on nuclear weapons and civil defence, I visited the Trinity Site in 2015.

Arriving at the site

    • The Trinity Site is open to the public for only a few hours twice a year, by permission of the U.S. Army.
    • The predicted popularity of Oppenheimer’s release will possibly overcrowd the next open house on Oct. 21.
    • When I visited the site, I first had to make my way to a very remote area of the New Mexico desert.
    • Arrival had to be well before sunrise to have any chance of being in the small group of persons granted entry.

Visiting the site

    • The main attraction at the Trinity Site is a simple obelisk made of volcanic rocks marking Ground Zero.
    • There are very few elements of interpretive information like what one would see at a museum.
    • It served to occupy the attention of most visitors, who perhaps anticipated more to see and do.

Vaporized tower

    • It was a fragment of the tower, and proof of physicist Albert Einstein’s theory that mass is just a concentrated form of energy.
    • Einstein’s famous equation E=mc² explains the energy released in an atomic bomb, but did not explain how to build one.
    • The tower that held the bomb last existed at 5:28 a.m. on July 16, 1945.
    • The test vaporized the experimental structure, leaving behind a crater about 1.4 metres deep and 80 metres wide.

Entertainment from horror

    • Other films go beyond this summer’s blockbuster to depict the full horror of what Oppenheimer created.
    • Jon Else’s 1981 documentary, The Day After Trinity, shows the real history behind Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
    • The 1983 made-for-TV movie, The Day After, dared to show the uncomfortable images of nuclear Armageddon to American audiences.
