This episode is a little closer to our hearts since it is about the secret city of World War II: Oak Ridge Tennessee. During the Manhattan Project this entire city was constructed, in secret, in the rural mountains of East Tennessee to develop the most devastating weapon humanity has ever constructed. That construction led to the creation of a mineral which we will discuss in this episode. Happy 80th anniversary Oak Ridge National Laboratory!
