INSIDE Oppenheimer’s Secret Home

[@TheStorytellingDad]

Very cool and interesting piece of history, especially with the movie and all

[@JoelRosenfeld]

I was really excited for the opportunity to take a peek inside, and see a bit of history. I'm happy I could also share it with all of you guys. Everything came together by chance, and Todd was very generous with his time. I literally walked into his office without any introduction, and he made time that afternoon. Great guy!

How can people live near it without danger of radiation poisoning? I am stupid can someone smart pls explain

[@JoelRosenfeld]

Firstly, you are protected by the inverse square law. As you get further away, the radiation exposure drops quickly. Los Alamos National Lab’s uranium and plutonium are not kept near the town at all. Assuming they still keep some there. We also have a ton of safety procedures to protect ourselves from radiation exposure. A lot of these procedures were developed during the Manhattan project as we learned more about it. As far as testing goes, the trinity test wasn’t done at Los Alamos proper, but I think a bit north. It was also detonated in the air, which I think means there was no fallout to cause long term radiation damage. Another example we have of this is Hiroshima, which even though it was hit by a nuclear bomb, it is a vibrant city today with radiation levels matching that of any other city.
