They could do a lot to restore/recreate the atomic pile in the squash court at Stagg Field, site of the first controlled nuclear reaction, and Argonne National Laboratory, where subsequent experiments were conducted, to get them away from urban areas for safety reasons.

:-) Argonne National Laboratory is a cool place, they have public tours you can go on (or used to before 9-11-01).

I live pretty dang close to Argonne, it's still in use today. New research is always ongoing there as is new building construction and upgrades. And even though it is a fair sized place (Google-Bing Maps Earth View) it's surrounded by suburbs -- with a public Forest Preserve right on the South border ('Waterfall Glen'). And needless to say Argonne is a pretty secure place.

note I said , 'pretty secure'. And that's all I can say about that.
