#2 Secret replica deep in the Tennessee forest? Most people around here would get a laugh out that. The facility during WWII was secret; in fact it was called the Secret City or the City Behind a Fence. The facility sprung up in a relatively short time--overnight as some would say. There were guard houses at every entrance and the entire complex was behind a fence. Period photographs of Oak Ridge facility.

K-25 occupied most of what is the The East Tennessee Technology Park today. K-25 got torn down a few years ago. I went through K-25 before that. It was a vast structure but empty at the time I went through. I had to suit out with protective garb with radiation badge. The concern at the time was PCB leakage from transformers over the years more than radiation.
