Seems about a quarter of what you'd expect given my home town stats, but the people probably tended toward young age, which the released death figures do show. Safer to be a young dude at Los Alamos than an average age dude in the midwest.
Interesting anecdote, the carpenter died the morning after Hiroshima. Most real world cover ups are not x-files show material but tend toward "the driver was up really late at the party last night". And it is interesting given the modern puritan attitude toward drunk driving that this was the only accident where blame was assigned. I would not be surprised if the driver had been out late the night before celebrating and the foreman did not take that into account thus getting recommended for firing. Or it was the foreman who was still drunk from the night before, leading directly to the carpenters death and destruction of .gov property.
