Early atomic clocks were masers with attached equipment. Today's best atomic frequency standards (or clocks) are based on more advanced physics involving cold atoms and atomic fountains. National standards agencies maintain an accuracy of 10 seconds per day, and a precision equal to the frequency of the radio transmitter pumping the maser. The clocks maintain a continuous and stable time scale, International Atomic Time (TAI). For civil time, another time scale is disseminated

KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, N.M.—A chipper secretary placed a cup of coffee down in the unclassified conference room at Sandia National Laboratories. Gerold Yonas thanked her politely, staring intently at a pile of printed-out PowerPoint slides. "So much easier than a slap in the face," he said, glancing at the caffeinated sludge. He didn't crack a smile. With his neatly trimmed beard and regimental tie, Yonas looked every bit the Reagan-era policy wonk. A longtime Sandia employee, Yonas served during the Reagan administration as the chief scientist for the Strategic Defense Initiative—better known as Star Wars, the "peace shield" meant to protect America from Soviet nuclear attack. But most of his career has been at Sandia, where, since 1998, he has run something called the Advanced Concepts Group Continue Article placeAd(2,'slate.travel/slate')

79. Ninfinger Productions: Trinity Site The National Atomic Museum's history of the first Atomic bomb test at Trinity Site in New Mexico. http://www.ninfinger.org/~sven/trinity/trin_brochure.html

This text and photos are from the brochure handed out during our Trinity site tour. It is issued by the US Department of Energy, National Atomic Museum in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The document is dated January 1994. Trinity Site The First Atomic Test On Monday morning July 16, 1945, the world was changed forever when the first atomic bomb was tested in an isolated area of the New Mexico desert. Conducted in the final month of World War II by the top-secret Manhattan Engineering District, this test was code named Trinity. The Trinity test took place on the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range, about 230 miles south of the Manhattan Project's headquarters at Los Alamos, New Mexico. Today this 3,200 square mile range, partly located in the desolate Jornada del Muerto Valley, is named the White Sands Missile Range and is actively used for non-nuclear weapons testing. Before the war the range had been public and private grazing land that had always been thinly populated. During the war it was even more lonely and deserted because the ranchers had vacated their homes in January 1942. They left because the land had been withdrawn by the War Department for use as an artillery and bombing practice area shortly after the December 7, 1941, Japaneses attack on Pearl Harbor. In September 1944, a remote 18 by 24 square mile portion of the northeast corner of the Bombing Range was selected for the Trinity test by the military. The selection of this remote location in the Jornada del Muerto (Journey of Death) Valley for the Trinity test was from an initial list of eight possible test sites. Besides the Jornada, three of the other seven sites were also located in New Mexico: the Tularosa Basin near Alamogordo, the lava beds (now the El Malpais National Monument) south of Grants, and an area southwest of Cuba and north of Thoreau. Other possible sites not located in New Mexico were: an Army training area north of Blythe, California, in the Mojave Desert; San Nicolas Island (one of the Channel Islands) off the coast of Southern California; and on Padre Island south of Corpus Christi, Texas, in the Gulf of Mexico. The last choice was in the beautiful San Luis Valley of south central Colorado, new today's Great Sand Dunes National Monument.
