I remember seeing a documentary on that. The women had to manually control the tens of thousands of centrifuges used to seperate the different atomic weights of the unanium oxide.

Here's what was left of that building, prolly all gone now.

Alice Denham, who was a smart, pretty, rebellious college student in 1951, never doubted which kind of girl she wanted to be. As soon as she could, she headed straight for New York City, where she eked out a living as a model and pinup girl.

Workers for Europ Assistance IT, an insurance group based in Italy, had come to the street early in the morning to construct the fake submarine.
The installation was erected to promote the firm's 'Protect Your Life' campaign.
