THREADQUIZ:
In the 1940's, where was the free world's leading producer of uranium metal?[&:]
NOTE: i am NOT talking U-235, but rather Uranium before it has been separated into isotopes.
I'm trying to imagine what it may have been used for before the atom was first split. I'll guess the US?
A city, please...[:)]
Hmmm. I know that CO was big in uranium production, but that was probably after 1940.
Colorado - big in Uranium ORE, i think... we are talking about purifying the ore into metal (prior to separating into isotopes). But maybe some of that went on there as well... however, we are talking "biggest producer", here.
Oak Ridge, TN
That was would be my next guess....but i believe Oak Ridge is where they produced the U 235.
Actually, now that I think of it. Oak Ridge barely existed in 1940, I think and there was probably no Uranium refinement going on.
It's probably someplace like Pittsburg.
We are talking 1940's, not 1940... Oak Ridge was quite large by the end of the war.
