Description

The Manhattan Project at Hanford Website describes the top-secret effort undertaken all the way through World War II to develop a weapon never imagined at “Website W” or “Hanford Engineer Works,” one of three sites selected in the US (plus Los Alamos and Oak Ridge) to research and produce weapons that were in the long run used to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki and end World War II. It was once a research and engineering feat of inconceivable proportion, and the total project cost for all three sites was once $2.1 billion–an unthinkable amount for a country that was once coming out of the Great Depression. This can be a story of gumption, get to the bottom of, tenacity, patriotism, pride, and selflessness for the thousands of people that worked more than one shifts, seven days a week, in a hot, dry, and desolate desert, never knowing what they were working on. This can be a tribute to American get to the bottom of in the face of overwhelming adversity.
