Excerpt
Radiation at Trinity Site: In deciding whether to visit ground zero at Trinity Site, the following information may prove helpful to you. Radiation levels in the fenced, ground zero area are low. On an average the levels are only 10 times greater than the region's natural background radiation. A one-hour visit to the inner fenced area will result in a whole body exposure of one-half to one milliroentgen.
