Community-wide
events to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Hanford B Reactor kick off in
August.
The
world’s first large-scale nuclear reactor went critical for the first time on
Sept. 26, 1944.
Built
in just under a year, the reactor and the 1,200 or so other buildings that
populated the Hanford site by that time were the product of the labor of some
50,000 men and women from across the country who came to live and work at
Hanford Camp.
The
fruits of their labor were instrumental to the success of the Manhattan Project
and to the larger war effort and events are planned to pay tribute to their
efforts.
Here’s
a roundup of events:
