The Origins of Oak Ridge National Lab, Hanford Nuclear Site, CSPAN lecture in history.

[NNadir]

I just watched this excellent lecture on CSPAN focusing on the development of nuclear weapons in the 1940's, covering the construction of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (still an important site for nuclear science) and the Hanford Plutonium producing complex.

I'm not sure whether this belongs in the history forum or in the science forum, but the history professor at the University of Texas at Austin, a Washington native, knows his science and gave a wonderful lecture on the topic, so I'm putting it here. I know a lot about nuclear technology and its history, but there were a few things I actually didn't know and learned.

University of Texas history professor Bruce Hunt discussed the development of the atomic bomb during World War II and the role of the Army Corps of Engineers General Leslie Groves. The University of Texas is located in Austin.
