speaker_8HOST
This is documented.
speaker_8HOST
We have the 12 locations pinned by the Rand Corporation, one of which is, of course, Anderson County, Tennessee, where Anderson County, as we all know, is home to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
speaker_8HOST
And what happened here? Anything important? Let's show that these 12 sites are very important and there isn't nothing going on.
speaker_8HOST
This location was established by the Army Corps of Engineers as part of the engineer works in 1942 on isolated farmland as part of the manhattan project and what is the manhattan project this is a scientific and military project involving the five eyes over 130 000 people and supposedly produced two types of with key scientists
speaker_8HOST
The Fermilab was a central figure in the Manhattan Project as well.
speaker_8HOST
It's all connected.
speaker_8HOST
But Anderson County, Tennessee, one of Rand's 12 locations, home to Oak Ridge, one of the most important secretive Manhattan Project sites, was built from scratch and kept off the maps.

Underground labs,
ChristinaHOST
In 1942, in an attempt to put an end to the Second World War once and for all, the United States government purchased rural farmland to build a super secret city.
ChristinaHOST
They chose an area in the eastern part of Tennessee, about 25 miles west of Knoxville in Anderson County.
ChristinaHOST
They chose this area because it had a low enough population that the acquisition of the land would be affordable, but the area was still accessible by highway and rail.
ChristinaHOST
And thanks to the recent completion of Norris Dam, utilities such as water and electricity were readily available in the area.
ChristinaHOST
And to make this even worse, some of these families had already previously been displaced by the Tennessee Valley Authority, and now it was happening to them again, which of course was just emotionally devastating.
ChristinaHOST
By March of 1943, the Corps had removed the area's earlier communities and established fences and checkpoints.
ChristinaHOST
Anderson County lost one-seventh of its land and $391,000 in annual property tax revenue.
ChristinaHOST
At first, the location of this project was known as Site X.

I think Grace wins the game tonight.
Mark PackerGUEST
But I thought Anderson County was going to lose to Alcoa last year, week 11, and they pulled off an upset.
Mark PackerGUEST
So you never know.
Mark PackerGUEST
I'm anxious to see George Quarles on the sideline.
