📆 This Day in History: Sept 19, 1957
The U.S. conducted its first contained underground nuclear test — Operation Rainier, Nevada.

And with that…
America became death.

💣 Today in History – July 16, 1945

They called it Trinity.

The first successful nuclear test — and the day science gave humanity the power to destroy itself.

📚 Ever seen inside the IAEA archives?

From handwritten notes to rare nuclear diplomacy photos — it's a powerful reminder of how global science policy is made.

Today’s #TMYK (3/365) is also a #PSA: The guidelines for visiting the Trinity test site (location of the first nuclear weapon detonation) have been revised.

Visitors are now permitted only one day per year (used to be two) and the Alamogordo Caravan has been indefinitely canceled. 😭

There is good news, though. Signups are no longer required and it doesn’t seem there’s a cap on attendance.

I know where I plan to be on October 18!

Good morning from #Knoxville, Tennessee! Today we’re heading to American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge. Should be a lot of fun for adults and kiddos. And we get to cross off another item on our #NuclearHistory to-do list.

On this day (12/20) in 1951, researchers at Argonne Natl. lab powered four 200-watt light bulbs via EBR-1. The first proof-of-concept for nuclear power for electricity, not bombs.

This is such a big deal I have it in mine and @Jillianmarisa’s shared calendar. Another point of interest is Patrick Stewart’s birthday but that’s a toot for another day.

Where the Malan Blooms.

60 Years After the First #Chinese #NuclearBomb.

"Malan, a type of iris, is also the name of China’s only nuclear arms testing base, and 21 was its military unit number. Situated on the northwestern edge of Lop Nur in Xinjiang, it’s named after the eponymous plant common in the arid landscape. The Chinese government formally acknowledged the site in 1987. Since then, the blossoming of the malan has become a euphemism for the Chinese nuclear weapons program, inscribed in military ballads and school plays.

This October 16 marks the 60th anniversary of the testing of the first Chinese nuclear bomb. When my friends and I coiled up our jump ropes and returned to class, we learned inspirational tales about the earliest generation of Chinese nuclear scientists, who left the comfort of home for the northwestern frontier and toiled in anonymity to forge the country’s atomic shield. In the same classrooms and from the same textbooks, we also marveled at our motherland’s vastness and diversity: every inch on the map had been part of China since time immemorial, and the Han majority and all 55 ethnic minorities constituted one big happy family."

"what we are referring to when we talk about the possible resumption of nuclear testing is not the latter sub-critical testing, but some version of atmospheric, outer space, underwater, or underground explosives testing" thebulletin.org/premium/2024-0
