Manhattan Project
« on: December 19, 2010, 02:14:50 pm »

Today I Watched A Show About "Oak Ridge" It Was Part Of The "Manhattan Project"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Project

If you look at the map on that page it will show you were all the sites were for the "Manhattan Project" Including "Oak Ridge".

Then I Looked up a place I lived when I was a Kid (Othello, WA) back in the 60's, And Went Thru The Hanford Site Many Times.

These Are The Two Sites Where Uranium and platinum were made for the two bombs That Was Dropped On Japan.

The Show Was On The History Channel.
