New Mexico Museum Of Space History: Now Taking Reservations For Annual April 6 Trinity Site Tour

on March 1, 2019 - 9:45am

In this historic photo, military personnel are seen moving ‘Jumbo’ to Trinity Site. One of the concerns of the scientists who built the ‘Gadget’ nuclear device that was detonated at Trinity Site in 1945, was that the bomb might not actually go off. In order to preserve the 13 pounds of plutonium in case of failed detonation, an 80-ton steel vessel named ‘Jumbo’ was built with the intention of imploding the device inside. The $12 million vessel was never used for that purpose because by the time the test was nearly ready, scientists were confident that it would work.
