This resolution recognizes the K-25 site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, which has been designated as a National Historic Chemical Landmark by the American Chemical Society. The K-25 site was a critical facility in the Manhattan Project during World War II, playing a crucial role in uranium isotope separation using gaseous diffusion technology. The facility was once the world's largest building under one roof and employed thousands of Tennesseans, contributing significantly to national efforts during World War II and the Cold War. The resolution highlights the site's importance in advancing nuclear science and technology, noting that the technologies developed at K-25 laid the groundwork for the commercial nuclear energy industry and U.S. leadership in nonproliferation policy. The resolution also acknowledges the K-25 History Center and the K-25 Viewing Platform and Interpretive Center, which preserve the site's history through artifacts and oral histories, and celebrates Oak Ridge's ongoing scientific legacy and contributions to research, technology, and innovation.
