The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from U. S. Project Trinity Report by Carl Maag and Steve Rohrer: exposures of 3 to 5 roentgens between 20 July and 21 November. Most
received less than 1 roentgen. After 21 November 1945, no one
approached closer than the fence which was 460 meters from ground
zero, although about 200 civilian and military personnel worked at or
visited the TRINITY site through 1946 (1; 16).
According to dosimetry data, entrance logs, and other records, about
1,000 individuals were at the test site at some time between 16 July
1945 and the end of 1946. This number includes not only the
scientists, technicians, and military personnel who were part of
Project TRINITY but also many visitors. Some of the scientists took
their wives and children on a tour of the area near ground zero,
