message: Though there is a "Closure and Demolition" section, nothing whatsoever is said about its closure.  Why was this building closed?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.26.39 (talk) 03:48, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Someone posted this info to Y-12 National Security Complex.  I've never heard of K-25 being part of Y-12, so I'm moving the text here.  Please incorporate it as you see fit.  --Allen 01:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: K-25, another building in the Y-12 Complex, was the largest building in the world when built. The people needed for the construction of the building lived near by, in a community that came to be known as Happy Valley. Built by the army in 1943, Happy Valley was a temporary community that housed 15,000 people in trailor homes. The building had 2 million squre feet of workspace and was a half mile long. It required 35 miles off electrical wire and used roughly the same amount of water needed for a city with a population of 25 million. A team of 12,000 was needed just to look for leaks in the pipes that were used in the enrichment process, which had to be air tight. The building was used to process 100 tons of uranium.
P.S. I went ahead and pasted in the two sentences about Happy Valley, since there certainly should be something about Happy Valley in the article.  --Allen 01:57, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

text: You're right: The K-25 plant has nothing to do with Y-12, and there is actually a significant drive in a car between the two (like 25 minutes long). They aren't even in the same county, with Y-12 being in Oak Ridge in Anderson County, Tennessee, whereas, the K-25 plant was in the next county to the west, Roane County, Tennessee  98.67.164.50 (talk) 07:04, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

The Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant is mentioned in several other Wikipedia articles, such as on uranium enrichment, nuclear weapons, yellowcake uranium, and so forth.98.67.164.50 (talk) 07:04, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Should not the uranium enrichment by calutrons be mentioned?
Was not all the Little Boy material made with this methode?

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :K-25's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Beaton1962":
From Gaseous diffusion: 
From Methoxyflurane: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 01:30, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: The water tower may be worthy of mention, but it would probably be better to include it in the existing "Other buildings" section of the article, rather than make a new section for it.  — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 19:29, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

text: Very well. I will update the article. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 03:57, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

replies: text:  Sounds good to me.  I would recommend the three-photo sequence on page 15 of this report.  It should be eligible for inclusion on Wikimedia Commons, with the "PD-USGov-DOE" copyright template and the attribution text "Courtesy of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, U.S. Dept. of Energy".  I looked through all the photos in the "K-25" category on Commons and couldn't find any existing photo of the tower there.  Are you familiar with the procedures for uploading things to Commons?  — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 20:17, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes. Uploaded and added to the article. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:39, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
