Рет қаралды 445
Күн бұрынDuring 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.

You’re showing the power grid across the street as reference I surmise. Cominco owned a hydro dam south of Trail in Waneta which they sold to Fortis. The tower, which was referred as the P9 Tower to locals and those who worked there. I worked on the demolition of the building in the early 2000’s. You can see how the floors were off set. There were three cylindrical tubes inside that went right to the top, so the floors had half moons on every level. BTW, you have a right to film anything you can see with your eyes from a public space, don’t let anyone fool you.

The lead and zinc production are not in the same building. The E&M, electrolytic and melting. The facility is basically a facsimile on either end with melting on the main floor. The lead side is further into the property in separate buildings .
