Birthplace of the Atom Bomb
Los Alamos County (N Central) map of counties
| The first Atom Bomb was exploded on the earth at the Trinity Site in the Jornada del Muerto (Journey of Death) Desert near Carrizozo but the development of the bomb was done in the midst of very tight security in Los Alamos about 45 miles NW of Santa Fe. For more about the NM "Research Corridor" which starts in the North with Los Alamos click here.
Los Alamos Laboratory has gone through enormous changes - a forest fire, intense security issues in recent years, and a change in administration - but its scientists are still actively involved in high-tech research in conjuntion with other facilities such as Chicago's Fermi Institute and Livermore Labs in Califronia. The Manhattan Project was the beginning for Los Alamos but it has continued to be the center for cutting edge nuclear research in the USA.
