The uranium enrichment plants were built at Oak Ridge, TN and powered by cheap electricity generated by the Tennessee Valley Authority.
It's hard to say exactly. There were many people who helped. There were 18,000 at Los Alamos and probably 50,000 or more in Hanford, WA and 45,000 at Oak Ridge, TN. There were probably 50,000 more in various smaller groups.
Yes

TN was called the volunteer (VOL) state because during the Alamo TN had the most volunteers from the country to fight during the Alamo.
James Gang Festival and Shootout will be held Saturday October 20, 2007 in Whites Creek, TN just outside of Nashville, TN.
it was created in oakridge TN the same place the first atomic bomb was created

What does TN stand for? Then I will be able to help
The nuclear material used to make the bombs was from Oak Ridge TN
The first test model was built at Oak Ridge TN

The atomic bomb was a ratio-active bomb that would insinerate matter in a range of about 2 miles radias. In World War 2 there were two dropped on Japan by the American forces allied with Britain. One named Little Boy destroyed Hiroshima and one named Fat Man was dropped on Nagasaki in Japan.
The address of the 310Th Bomb Wing Veterang Historical is: 2167 Cumbernauld Cr W, Germantown, TN 38139-5309
No, the bomb was built in Los Alamos, NM. However the plutonium used in the Trinity test shot and the Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki was made in reactors at Hanford, WA. The uranium used in the Little Boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima was enriched in Oakridge, TN.
yes it is also found in nashville,TN mining plants
The first sustained nuclear chain reaction was in the CP-1 reactor in Chicago, IL.The X-10 reactor in Oak Ridge, TN was used to develop plutonium production reactor technology.Three reactors at Hanford, WA beginning with B reactor produced the plutonium.
The a-bomb was built in Oak Ridge, Tennessee - just outside Knoxville.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------All atomic bombs built in 1945-1947 were built in Los Alamos, NM. Oak Ridge, TN only supplied the oralloy (Oak Ridge "alloy": weapons grade 80% enriched uranium) while Hanford, WA supplied the plutonium and polonium. The Navy supplied cordite and high explosives. Sandia in Albuquerque, NM supplied the custom bomb casings and electronics. Later factories (e.g. PANTEX in TX, Rocky Flats in CO) were built to do the assembly.
