USA, New Mexico, San Antonio, 01 April 2016 Tiburcio Padilla, 83, looks out his window while recalling the day on July 16, 1945 when as a boy he witnessed the first atomic bomb blast. “All of a sudden we heard that boom and we saw that mushroom cloud come up. The ground just shook all over. We didn’t know what happened.” The atomic age had been born thirty miles away in the Jornado del Muerto desert. The Trinity test marked the triumph of the Manhattan Project and paved the way for the quick assembly of nuclear weapons, which were dropped August 6 and August 9 on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing and maiming hundreds of thousands. Residents living around the Trinity test site were never monitored or studied for health impacts, unlike down winders in Nevada and Utah. In 2014, the National Cancer Institute began a survey, a full 69 years after the event. Padilla grew up sterile, as did another brother and two of his sisters. Four out of twelve children in his family were unable to conceive. He wonders if his proximity to the test and resulting radiation rendered him infertile. The Trinity test site is open to the public two days a year. It still emits high levels or radiation. Nina Berman / NOOR
