Experience History: Tour the Site of the World’s first Atomic Blast – In October!

The world’s first atomic bomb blast occurred on July 16, 1945, in Alamogordo, New Mexico. It was a monumental moment in human history and 70 years later, a new site has been created to commemorate this dark, yet powerful moment.

This fall, the U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) is reopening the original explosion site for just one day – October 5th – for visitors to come and visit.

Situated in southern New Mexico, the Trinity Site is the closest remaining reminder of the first detonation of an atomic bomb in history. Designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1991, Trinity Site comprises the ground zero of the blast and the two monuments built to honor the site.

On October 5th, visitors can visit the historic site to learn more about the dramatic event that happened there. During the day, the site will feature interpretive signs, seminars, and detailed lectures. There will be a ceremonial raising of the American flag at precisely 5: 30 am, when the atomic bomb went off. In addition, visitors will be able to take part in special raffles, photograph the monuments, and listen to presentations from leading experts on nuclear issues.

In order to attend this special, one-day opening, all individuals must register with the DOE/NNSA. All attendees must also wear protective clothing and adhere to strict rules while on the site. All visitors will also be able to view a static display of relics and artifacts from the period before the atomic blast.

The one-day opening of the Trinity Site is an opportunity to reflect on the power and consequences of nuclear weapons. It is also a chance to learn about how nuclear technology has changed over time and become a part of daily life. With the right knowledge, individuals can better access the issues and the progress made in nuclear energy and arms enforcement.

This special moment of reflection is an excellent way to honor the legacy of the world’s first atomic bomb blast. If you would like to attend the Trinity Site’s one-day opening on October 5th, take a look at the DOE/NNSA website for more information and to sign up.
