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: to work on experiments, their film badges registered exposures from
residual radioactivity on 16 July. Based on the documented personnel
totals, at least the following 263 individuals were at the test site
when the device was detonated (1; 4; 8-10; 13; 15):
o 99 shelter occupants at shelters 9,150 meters north, south, and west
of ground zero
o 144 to 160 officers and enlisted men of the evacuation detachment,
located 14 kilometers northwest of ground zero near Guard Post 2
o Five radiological safety monitors assigned to the evacuation
detachment to perform offsite monitoring of nearby towns and
residences
