Robert L. Ferguson and C. Mark Smith’s Something Extraordinary: A Short History of the Manhattan Project, Hanford, and the B Reactor provides an accessible and thorough overview of one of the most important developments of twentieth century global history: the rise and decline of the nuclear age. Focusing on Hanford, Washington and its B Reactor—the world’s first large-scale nuclear production facility—the book skillfully traces that story through four key anniversaries dating from 2019: German aggression leading to the outbreak of World War II and the Manhattan Project in 1939; the development of the Hanford Site and the startup of B plutonium production reactor in 1944; the inauguration of the WNP-2 nuclear power reactor in 1984; and the Tri-Party Agreement of 1989 and subsequent efforts to cleanup nuclear waste. As Ferguson and Smith ably demonstrate, despite their remote location, Hanford and B Reactor were at the center of the technological developments, and the subsequent environmental damages, that would come to define that age.
