...... Today (16 July) marks the chilling anniversary of the detonation of the first ever nuclear bomb. Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. J. Robert Oppenheimer, speaking at the detonation of his invention, the first atomic bomb. On 16 July 1945, the ?Trinity? nuclear test plunged humanity into the so-called Atomic Age. The first-ever nuclear bomb was detonated in New Mexico, at the Alamogordo Test Range. Nicknamed the gadget, the plutonium-based implosion-type device yielded 19 kilotons, creating a crater over 300 metres wide. Three weeks after the test, on 6 and 9 August 1945, nuclear bombs one of them based on the Trinity design - were dropped on the Japane Copyright: xx 40719194 EDITORIAL USE ONLY.
