Journey to World’s First: The K-25 Story

The K-25 site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee is a place of international significance. Constructed as part of the secret Manhattan Project, it was the first site in the world to enrich uranium, and decades later, it became the first enrichment site in the world to be safely taken down. Hear the incredible story from the leaders behind one of the nation’s largest environmental cleanup projects that spanned 20 years and made history in the process.

    Thank you for giving those that worked there the memories. I was there the day the employee fell through the floor. Scary day.

    WOW! Pretty emotional video to watch. How many hundreds of days I walked through those hallways of the K-25 building with those huge and weirdly quiet machines just sitting there on each side like dead dinosaurs. It was spooky then (1970s-1990s) and it was spooky to look at in this video. And now it has all been taken down and is totally gone. I really have no words to express how this video makes me feel......

    What a great self pat on the back by the DOE.

    So, apparently they're going to put an airport on the k-25 site? I swear I've seen a video of someone biking through the whole plant, but now I can't find it. I'd love to see that again if anyone has it. Thanks.

    I could think of a perfect reindustrialization project for Oak Ridge.
