The Secret City

It started as the Hanford Engineer Works, a facility so secret, not even the people who worked there knew exactly what they were doing—making plutonium for the Manhattan Project. Learn the history of the Secret City that helped end the war. Features Margaret Degooyer of Richland, Washington, who analyzed plutonium in a Hanford lab; Michele Gerber of the Tri-Cities, the Official Historian for Hanford Facility; and Larry Denton, also of the Tri-Cities, who worked as a shipping clerk during WWII and later became a boss at Hanford.
