My uncle left mechanical engineering school in 1942, enlisted in the Army, and they sent him to Oak Ridge where he was responsible for one of the enrichment lines. He said he had to manage the farm boys from Tennessee who ran the equipment. He was the grand old college educated man at age 22. After that, he and his new bride moved to Los Alamos where he worked on nuclear weapons. He didn’t like building weapons and went back to school to become a doctor and dentist.

Awesome. He worked at the K-25 Gaseous Diffusion Process Building that was half a mile long to give the UF₆ enough room to diffuse as much of the U-235 as possible. Wonderful piece of history.
