own at the upper left operation edit the b reactor had its first nuclear chain reaction in september 1944 the d reactor in december 1944 and the f reactor in february 1945 the initial operation was halted by a problem identified as neutron absorption by the fission product xenon 135 first identified in a research paper of chien shiung wu that was shared with fermi 10 it was overcome by increasing the amount of uranium charged the reactor produced plutonium 239 by irradiating uranium 238 with neutrons generated by the nuclear reaction it was one of three reactors along with the d and f reactors built about six miles 10 km apart on the south bank of the columbia river each reactor had its own auxiliary facilities that included a river pump house large storage and settling basins a filtration plant large motor driven pumps for delivering water to the face of the pile and facilities for emergency cooling in case of a power failure 4 emergency shutdown of the reactor referred to as a scram was attained either by rapidly fully inserting the vertical safety rods or as a backup method by the injection of borated water into the reactor in january 1952 the borated water system was replaced by a ball 3x system that injected nickel plated high boron steel balls into the channels occupied by the vertical safety rods 4 the plutonium for the nuclear bomb used in the trinity test in new mexico and the fat man bomb dropped on nagasaki japan was created in the b reactor the b reactor ran for two decades and was joined by additional reactors constructed later it was permanently shut down in february 1968 4 11 current status edit exterior of the hanford b reactor as of 2018 hanford b reactor control station as of 2018 hanford b reactor tubes and elevator as of 2018 the united states department of energy has administered the site since 1977 12 13 and offers public tours on set dates during the spring summer and fall of the year as well as special tours for visiting officials 6 14 as of 2014 update six of the nine production reactors at hanford were considered to be in interim safe storage status and two more were to receive similar treatment the exception was the b reactor which was given special status for its historical significance 15 in a process called cocooning or entombment the reactor buildings are demolished up to the 4 ft thick 1 2 m concrete shield around the reactor core any openings are sealed and a new roof is built 16 most auxiliary buildings at the first three reactors have been demolished as well the c reactor was put into operation in 1952 and was shut down in 1969 17 it was cocooned as of 1998 18 the d reactor operated from 1944 to june 1967 and was cocooned in 2004 the dr reactor went online in october 1950 19 and was shut down in 1964 it was cocooned in 2002 20 the f reactor was shut down in june 1965 and cocooned in 2003 21 the h reactor became operational as of october 1949 and was shut down as of april 1965 it was cocooned as of 2005 22 cocooning of the n reactor which operated from 1963 to 1987 was completed as of 14 june 2012 23 the decommissioned reactors are inspected every five years by the department of energy 18 the k east and k west reactors were built in the 1950s and went into use in 1955 they were shut down in 1970 and 1971 but reused temporarily for storage later 24 preliminary plans for interim stabilizing of the k east and k west reactors were underway as of 30 january 2018 16 the b reactor was added to the national register of historic places 92000245 on 3 april 1992 a record of decision rod was issued in 1999 and an epa action memorandum in 2001 authorized hazards mitigation in the reactor with the intention of allowing public tours of the reactor 25 it was named a national historic landmark on 19 august 2008 3 4 in december 2014 passage of the 2015 national defense authorization act ndaa made the b reactor part of the manhattan project national historical park which also includes historic sites at oak ridge tennessee and los alamos new mexico 26 27 the park was formally established by a memorandum of agreement on november 10 2015 which was signed by the national
