B-Reactor, Hanford Site
Untitled
B-Reactor was the first full-scale nuclear reactor in the world. Built in a period of 13 months, and finished in September of 1944, the reactor started production of plutonium around Christmas that year. A rich and very important part of not only American history, but world history, this reactor is under an ominous cloud that is threatening to cocoon it, if the B-Reactor Museum Association cannot find funding to turn this regal part of our history into a museum. Part of the 4-hour Hanford Nuclear Reservation tour includes a walkthrough tour of B-Reactor. A definate must-see for any WWII, history or science buff!
