Description
The largest plant site of the Manhattan Project, and the war, K-25 helped isolate the crucial uranium-235 from the more abundant uranium-238. To accomplish that goal, tens of thousands of construction workers relocated to Happy Valley. Learn more about the accomplishments of those workers, and the sacrifices it took to get there, at a ranger walk along the greenways through the former K-25 site.
