He died in 1992 and his widow sold the shop to the present owner in 1995. According to the new owner, Sam liked to spin a tale and thought it was highly unlikely he ever manufactured any Trinitite. In any case, Trinity has been enclosed and locked since the perimeter fence was erected about a month after the explosion. It was patrolled 24 hours a day by soldiers and dogs until about 1949 when the Army withdrew its guards. The site was bulldozed in 1953 and the Trinitite buried in mounds located about 100 feet inside the perimeter fence. Ten ash cans of the hottest Trinitite were locked in a bunker 2 miles south of Ground Zero within a month of the explosion. These were removed by the AEC in 1967 and buried in a low level disposal site at Los Alamos.wmk21037https://www.blogger.com/profile/06061166997683106245noreply@blogger.com
