During WWII, there was a race to harness nuclear technology. The allies and nazis were both experimenting with heavy water technology as a moderator for nuclear fission. Each side had its own production facility, and the race was on.
Project 9, otherwise known as the Canadian Manhattan Project, was a secret program that took place during the war to produce heavy water for nuclear research. Heavy water was produced and then picked up by the US military.
A top secret operation, an entire town was sworn to secrecy. We travel to the location of the old headquarters where the project took place. The building was demolished years ago, and nothing remains of the facility. This is the story of Project 9, which helped launch a new age of technology.
