Isn't New Mexico one of the states that we've tested bombs in? Maybe the level they recorded is the norm for that part of the state.

Background radiation would most likely be accounted for. This is in central Albuquerque. The Trinity site is quite a ways south east of Albuquerque.
This is concerning because the fairgrounds are just down the street from the national labs and Air Force base.

Ground zero for our nuclear tests was White Sands Missile range, NM.

Only one atomic bomb has ever been tested in the atmosphere in New Mexico and that was the Trinity Test on what is now the White Sands Missile Range.
I've been out to Trinity and the radiation levels are at or slightly above background norms.

Alb. is not that close to White Sands. In fact it's a pretty long way, hundreds of miles.
