The Hanford B Reactor, located in Washington State, was the world's first full-scale nuclear reactor. Constructed during the Manhattan Project in the 1940s, it played a vital role in the development of atomic energy. The reactor's primary purpose was to produce plutonium-239 for the production of atomic bombs. Its operation resulted in the plutonium used in the "Fat Man" atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, during World War II. The Hanford B Reactor was a remarkable engineering feat, featuring innovative cooling systems, a complex network of pipes, and advanced safety measures. Today, it stands as a symbol of human scientific achievements and a key landmark in the history of nuclear power.
