Uranium enrichment by scientists to develop atomic bomb. Work carried out on a piece of uranium at Atomic Energy Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, as part of the process in creating plutonium from uranium for atomic weapons. A worker in radiation protective clothing and mask working on a uranium block with a lathe machine. Grinding of the block and exhaust tube removing fumes. The block placed on the shaper and finishing provided to the block.
First pictures of uranium used by scientists to develop atomic bomb. Workers and officials at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, engaged in process of creating plutonium from uranium for atomic weapons.
