Physical Lab Security: Before and After World War II

Physical security during World War II was important to maintaining the secrecy of the Manhattan Project, the government’s wartime effort to create the atomic bomb. In a perceived race against Nazi Germany to do so, physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the Lab’s first director, and General Leslie Groves, head of the Manhattan Project, needed a secluded place to build the clandestine Lab.

A Partnership between countries that endures today. The British Mission was a part of the Lab from 1943-1945

After 27 months of grueling hours and scientific secrecy amidst the pressure of a mounting death toll and Nazi Germany's own weapons development, it had come to an end. It was time to celebrate. On September 22, 1945, scientists, engineers and their families gathered at Fuller Lodge downtown to celebrate the success of the Los Alamos atomic bomb and the end of World War II. The party was hosted by members of the British Mission and their wives and included food, dancing and a satirical play based on the lighter moments of wartime life in Los Alamos. However, this party was more than just entertainment and a night of festivities, it also represented a partnership between countries that endures today.

Rediscovered photographs of J. Robert Oppenheimer’s 1964 visit to LANL

National Security Research Center staff recently rediscovered a trove of images of J. Robert Oppenheimer’s last known visit to the Laboratory, tucked away among the NSRC’s collections of millions of classified and unclassified photographs and not seen for over thirty years. Oppenheimer, who served as our first Director from 1943–1945, led the United States’ successful wartime effort to develop the world’s first atomic weapons in just 27 months. He left the Lab shortly after World War II ended, but came back in May of 1964 to deliver a lecture about Niels Bohr at the Civic Auditorium (now Duane Smith Auditorium) and visit the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory Museum (which would become the Bradbury Science Museum), as is captured in these photos.
