I grew up near Quehanna and actually attended school in Pine Glen, about 10 miles from the Quehanna site) where C-R built an entire community complete with elementary school and bomb shelters for their workers' families. Although the nature of the work at the site was secret, it was pretty clear that it wasn't totally "safe".
Of course another clue is the large stones (still there) along the road indicating how far one is from "Reactor Road" and potential danger. As I recall it was possible to drive through the C-R property but guarded gates were located at either end of the property and one had to stop, check in, and state the reason they wanted to drive through it....had we only known! It's a bit eerie to think back on that time, the air raid drills, Cold War when we in rural Central PA thought we were safe from any chance of attack from America's enemies and there we were sitting practically on top of two (Penn State Unisersity is close by) potential targets. |
