Description

Trinity was de codenaam van de eerste atoombom van de Verenigde Staten. Deze plutoniumbom werd gemonteerd op een stalen toren in de woestijn van New Mexico en op 16 juli 1945 om 5.30 uur ’s ochtends tot ontploffing gebracht. Hij heette informeel Gadget, maar had Trinity als officiële codenaam. Topmedewerkers van het Manhattanproject, zoals projectleider generaal Leslie R. Groves, wetenschappelijk directeur Robert Oppenheimer en Enrico Fermi, keken van veilige afstand toe.

De explosie van Trinity was de eerste kernexplosie die ooit op de wereld plaatsvond. Hij had een enorme kracht, geschat op 19.000 ton TNT, vier keer zo groot als verwacht. De zwaarste bommen hadden toen een kracht van "slechts" 20 ton TNT.
