In late 2009, the National Park Service released the study of Manhattan Project sites in response to legislation paseed in 2004. The "Manhattan Project National Historical Park Study Act" [Public Law 108-340] passed with bipartisan support and directed the Secretary of the Interior to “conduct a study on the preservation and interpretation of historic sites of the Manhattan Project for potential inclusion in the National Park system.” Specifically, Congress directed the National Park Service to study the resources of four Manhattan Project sites: Los Alamos, NM, Oak Ridge, TN, Hanford, WA, and Dayton, OH.

The Park Service recommended a national historical park at only Los Alamos. We believe the best option is a three-site national park at Hanford, Oak Ridge and Los Alamos.

The following is a round-up of all of our stories on the study and public meetings at the sites.
