The Making of the Manhattan Project Park

The Making of the Manhattan Project Park
PDF Version
Fifteen years after the first efforts to preserve some of the Manhattan Project properties at Los Alamos, New Mexico, in 1999, Congress enacted the Manhattan Project National Historical Park Act, signed by President Obama on December 19, 2014. There are over 40 properties that are officially designated as part of the park with provision for adding others later; the new park will focus on three major sites:  Los Alamos, NM, where the first atomic bombs were designed; Oak Ridge, TN, where enormous facilities produced enriched uranium; and Hanford, WA, where plutonium was produced. By Cynthia Kelly.http://fas.org/pir-pubs/making-manhattan-project-park/
