rendered and read by eye — the grade this project quotes fromCaveat THE CONNECTION IS THIS MAP'S, NOT THE REPORT'S, and that has to be said or the citation implies otherwise. AARO never presents the Trinity test as the starting point of its review; it gives a year. "Trinity" appears exactly twice in the whole 63-page file, both times inside endnote citations of a Department of Energy web page on printed 57, supporting the Manhattan Project paragraph on printed 40 - neither is a scope statement. What is drawn here is a shared year and nothing more. CORRECTED THE SAME DAY: until 2026-08-26 this claim put "1945 to present" in quotation marks, and that phrase is not in the report. The nearest wording, "from 1945 to the present", is on printed 10, which this project has not read and located only by searching the held file; the words now quoted are the Section IV title on printed 13, which has been read. -
