The Gadget
Replica of the first nuclear device detonated in the Trinity Test as a part of the Manhattan Project. The Gadget's detonation produced the explosive power of about 20 kilotons of TNT (84 TJ). After witnessing the detonation J. Robert Oppenheimer was said to have lamented, "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds," a verse from the Bhagavad Gita. History has shown the quote to be quite appropriate.
