The K-25 building of the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant aerial view, looking southeast. The mile-long building, in the shape of a "U", was completely demolished in 2013. K-25 was the codename given by the Manhattan Project to the program to produce enriched uranium for atomic bombs using the gaseous diffusion method.
Over the next decade, four more uranium enrichment plants joined K-25, and the site was renamed the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant. The added enrichment facilities included K-27 in 1945, K-29 ...
Y-12 separated the uranium-235 for Little Boy, the nuclear weapon that was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945. K-25, another facility in Oak Ridge, produced enriched uranium using gaseous diffusion. However, K-25 did not begin operating until March 1945 and fed slightly enriched uranium to Y-12's Beta Calutrons as the push to obtain ...
Orano is now hiring for its multibillion-dollar uranium enrichment facility planned for Oak Ridge, set to be the largest of its kind in the U.S.. The French nuclear fuels company recently posted ...
Inside a highly classified facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee — the same facility that enriched uranium for the first atomic bomb in the era of the Manhattan Project — workers are turning old ...
X-10 Graphite Reactor, on the Oak Ridge National Laboratory campus, built during World War II and the first reactor designed and built for continuous operation Y-12 National Security Complex , conducted uranium enrichment during World War II, more recently used for nuclear weapons production and management of highly enriched uranium
When the Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management finished demolition and cleanup of the historic K-25 site, a massive Manhattan Project facility that used gaseous diffusion to enrich uranium ...
There are five campuses on the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge reservation: the National Laboratory, the Y-12 National Security Complex, the East Tennessee Technology Park (formerly the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant), the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, and the developing Oak Ridge Science and Technology Park, although the ...
