65 years into the Atomic Age

Nuclear Age Peace Foundation president, David Krieger, reminds us how the Atomic Age began, 65 years ago on July 16, 1945 with the first Atomic Test - known as Trinity. The explosion prompted the memorable quote from Dr. Robert Oppenheimer, recalling lines from the Bhagavad Gita

If the radiance of a thousand suns
Were to burst at once into the sky,
That would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...
I am become Death,
The shatterer of Worlds.
