Original: Visit the Reactor That Made the Plutonium for the “Fat Man” Nuclear Bomb

IEEE Spectrum takes readers inside the reactor that produced the plutonium used in the "Fat Man" bomb dropped on Nagasaki in 1945. The feature offers a rare look at the historic site where weapons-grade material was first manufactured at scale, recounting its role in the Manhattan Project and its place in nuclear history.

Why now: Renewed public interest in atomic history and the sites of the Manhattan Project.
