Atomic Explorations: Hanford Site Development - Achieving the Impossible

July 29, 2026

Visión general

Two years after the discovery of plutonium, the United States entered World War II and embarked on a seemingly impossible mission: make plutonium on an industrial scale for an atomic bomb. Why was the Hanford Site selected for this mission? What made the construction and engineering of the Hanford Site so remarkable? Explore the development of Hanford’s plutonium factory in the early 1940s.
