My dad was an engineering student and was drafted to work at Oak Ridge. He was on the design team for the gaseous U pumps in K25. He only talked to us about things that did not affect the bomb. He did not want to talk about any of this. He also was a civilian and witnessed the above-ground thermonuclear bomb test at Bikini Atoll from 10 miles away. He went onto the Atoll to measure background radiation. He died at 82 and never had cancer.

Did he knew on what he was working in the early days? What did he say, after the bombs fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

ALOT of people died of Cancer in Oakridge Tennessee, Including dozens of my family members. What a coincidence that ALL of them died of cancer. I personally know over 100 people including my family and their neighbors/friends that were killed by cancer of one type or another.

There’s plenty of academic research that supports this. I found an academic journal that said cancer deaths have risen almost seven times faster within a 100-mile radius of Oak Ridge than in the United States as a whole.

My great granny worked there as the first woman officer in the army

My grandfather worked on the atomic bomb but he had no idea the intention it was meant to be used for.

I'm interested in the "foo fighters" that were seen in Oak Ridge in 1944

my great grandfather worked here and got pancreatic cancer and died

I give the video and the history a 9.5

Are there any connection to the ccc’s.

trouble with wanting that is its been violence with humans since beginning of existence and thats part of the world it is what it is and if governments get enough control then keep us from violence then theyll be fighting and sending us to violence lol its insane but thats the reality i gues is without violence we wouldnt be America and so on its insane how msny workd leaders and other ppl regular ppl who want us ti fall that's what is terrible for giving a weak presidential candidate presidential seat and he gives more worry to otber ppl than our own occupants whuch no country outside of ours ecer does America is tbe ONLY COUNTRY to entertain ever worrying about heloing and image opinion of outsider ppl before his own ppl! dangerous becuae intellectual property theft becomes easier etc which can blow bakc on Americans horribly

Went to oak ridge the other day. Pretty disappointed at welll... not much to see. Y12 is still in operation, k25 was told is fenced up and nothing to see as well as x10. So much potential history to be seen but really only a museum that is only 70 percent history and so.e elecrtical stuff. Very small vusitor center at y12. Really not even worth a trip to see anything. Terrible waste...

Give it back to the residents they displaced

MUCH of the area that was occupied is or was a Superfund site. I was just visiting there. If my family had been displaced, I do not think I would want it back, although remediation efforts are ongoing. The K-25 area is being cleaned up and turned into a business area, plus an industrial airport etc. Y-12 area is a big complex that is simultaneously being cleaned up and also under construction for future facilities.
