Manhattan Project NHP Calutron Operators Magnet

Manhattan Project National Historical Park spans sites in New Mexico, Washington, and Tennessee, preserving stories of the people and places involved in developing the world’s first atomic bombs. The historic photograph shows women operating calutron control panels at Oak Ridge’s Y-12 plant, where they helped separate uranium isotopes while knowing little about the secret project’s larger purpose.
