Los Alamos National LaboratorySituated 7,300 feet above sea level and roughly 35 miles from Santa Fe, the Los Alamos site seemed ideal for a secret laboratory. Constant constructionCompared to the Chicago labs, where some of the work on the Manhattan Project was being done, Los Alamos was starting from scratch. The commissary is where many Los Alamos residents did most of their grocery shopping during the Manhattan Project. Mary Palvesky is the daughter of Harry Palevsky and Elaine Sammel, who both worked at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project. After the US dropped the bombs, the site became the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

The development of nuclear weapons during World War II was codenamed the Manhattan Project. Nuclear fission experiments were conducted at Columbia University in the late 1930s and early 1940s. But most viewers may not know a surprising detail about the top-secret initiative, codenamed the Manhattan Project. According to a 1993 article about the Manhattan Project in the student publication The Columbia Spectator, the university's administration asked members of the football team, the Columbia Lions, to assist him. But according to The New York Times, the Manhattan Project employed 700 people at Columbia — including the unsuspecting Columbia Lions.
