I believe that the only one they really took off is Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Sarah SchauerHOST
23:23
But the 15 remainders are Idaho National Laboratory, Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Argonne National Laboratory, Brookhaven taken off, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, National Energy Technology Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory, Savannah River Site, Pantex Plant, Kansas City National Security Campus.
Sarah SchauerHOST

So when they say it's the equivalent of the Manhattan Project that built the atomic bomb, Idaho National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Los Alamos National Laboratory, the four that are listed on here to put AI data centers on top, all four of those were the key facilities in the Manhattan Project, the manufacture, production, testing of atomic nuclear weapons.
Sarah SchauerHOST
24:13
So they're not being hyperbolic.
Sarah SchauerHOST
24:15
Given time, of course, it might prove possible to replicate in machines the vast ecosystem of social ties, moral codes, intensive parenting, and state policing that humans have developed to stop us behaving like sociopaths.
Megyn KellyHOST

Investigators also cut a piece of stained carpet out of the Pontiac's trunk from the same area where the hair was found.
Megyn KellyHOST
27:20
They seal the carpet inside a clean metal evidence can, which looks just like a regular paint can, and send it to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee for analysis.
Megyn KellyHOST
27:31
Dr. Arpad Vass has spent two decades at the Oak Ridge Lab studying the gases released as a human body decomposes.
Megyn KellyHOST
27:41
When the paint can reaches his lab, Dr. Vass opens it.
Paul EngelHOST

It's a nuclear fusion development campus, meaning this is a...
Paul EngelHOST
14:17
It will work with our Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the University of Tennessee to help develop nuclear fusion.
Paul EngelHOST
14:24
Now, why is this... important well nuclear fission creates byproducts now i gotta i've talked before about um the problems we have we could actually reuse that but that's a whole other issue nuclear fusion which is what runs the sun produces a lot of energy the problem is it takes temperatures and pressures that well are basically all but impossible to create within the atmosphere of the united states That's what this development said.
Paul EngelHOST
14:51
How do we create nuclear? Can we make it work? So again, a first step towards hopefully what would be cheap, renewable, and by the way, non-carbon polluting electricity, but it requires nuclear fusion, which nuclear power tends to scare the pants off of people.

visible on every map and findable by every GPS.

31:20
It is home to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of the Department of Energy's largest research institutions, and to the Y-12 National Security Complex, which still processes uranium for the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile.
speaker_0NARRATOR
31:38
The K-25 building, the gaseous diffusion plant that was once the largest building in the world, has been largely demolished, a process of decontamination and deconstruction that has taken decades and cost billions of dollars.
speaker_0NARRATOR
31:57
The American Museum of Science and Energy, located in the centre of town, tells the story of the Manhattan Project and the city that was built to support it.

There it is between Knoxville and the Cumberland Plateau, in the valley where the Clinch River bends through the parallel ridges.
speaker_0NARRATOR
108:00
The streets are visible, the grid of the planned city, the cul-de-sacs of the post-war suburbs that grew up after the fences came down, the commercial strip along the main highway.
speaker_0NARRATOR
108:14
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory is visible, its campus of research buildings spread across the valley floor.

108:23
The Y-12 National Security Complex is visible, its industrial buildings and security perimeter clearly marked.

And the two alerts were followed by a soil sample sent to Dr. Arpad Voss.
KelseyHOST
41:04
So Dr. Voss is a forensic anthropologist at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, and he is best known as a prosecution witness in the Casey Anthony trial.
KelseyHOST
41:16
He had developed methods for detecting compounds released by decomposing human remains.
KelseyHOST
41:22
And his analysis came back as a weak positive.
Bob YarbroughHOST

Central City Heating and Air Conditioning, keeping you in your comfortable zone more than 50 years at yourcomfortablezone.com. Susie, thank you.
Bob YarbroughHOST
15:28
Thank you for reminding me it was Bill Madia, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, uh, manager back then.
Jennifer JohnseyHOST
15:35
Okay.
Bob YarbroughHOST
15:35
And just out of nowhere, I think he even knocked on the door of the [laughs] satellite truck-
Bill McGeeneyHOST
4:49
Let me make a note of that.
Lin MengGUEST
4:53
When I was a PhD student, I spent three summers working at Oak Ridge National Lab as a research intern.
Lin MengGUEST
4:59
And it went half overdrive to Great Smoky.
Lin MengGUEST
5:03
I would sometimes drive there on a Friday after work just towards the sunset.
Nikki ChandlerHOST
8:13
Yeah, I'm familiar with that.
Nikki ChandlerHOST
8:14
Did Oak Ridge National Labs work on that? Yeah, yeah.
David KetchenGUEST
8:18
So yeah, looking at a stat like that, you just know that reliability is money saved as well.
David KetchenGUEST
8:27
So the more proactive that we could be to enhance our system, the better shape we thought we would be in.
Steve StocktonHOST
38:28
And on your show, we talked about Operation Paperclip and how that was a real thing.
Steve StocktonHOST
38:34
Because my dad was a scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, worked right alongside some of those guys.
Steve StocktonHOST
38:39
But yet people will try to debunk that and say it never happened and the government did that.
Steve StocktonHOST
38:43
But I think sometimes you have to debunk the debunkers, you know, that there are – Double agents out there and people, and I've noticed this like in, especially in the UFO community.

But everything can't be proven yet.
Steve StocktonHOST
55:17
There's things that we don't understand.
Steve StocktonHOST
55:19
My dad, like I said, he was a scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Steve StocktonHOST
55:23
He would think about things that happened in the laboratory under extremely controlled conditions.
Tyler IvinsGUEST
4:45
You heard about the flight, the United flight that crashed in Pennsylvania.
Tyler IvinsGUEST
4:50
So then people were speculating, what does that mean for, like, Oak Ridge and the Labrador? Right, I
Phil WilliamsHOST

remember that.
