There may have been 300 000 ultimately working on the bomb, but this town had less than that.
My town Port Hope Ontario was producing all the uranium for the Manhattan project. Most of the uranium and tritium came from Canada.
They still produce tritium and reactor grade uranium at the same factory.

Glad I live far from town.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
