Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“History
The town of Oak Ridge was established by the Army
Corps of Engineers as part of the Clinton Engineer Works in 1942 on isolated
farm land as part of the Manhattan Project.[11] During the war, advanced
research for the government was managed at the site by the University of
Chicago. In 1943, construction of the ‘Clinton Laboratories’ was completed,
later renamed to ‘Oak Ridge National Laboratory.’ The site was chosen for the
X-10 Graphite Reactor, used to show that plutonium can be extracted from
enriched uranium. Enrico Fermi and his colleagues developed the world’s second
self-sustaining nuclear reactor after Fermi’s previous experiment Chicago
Pile-1, the X-10 was the first designed for continuous operation.[12] After the
end of World War II the demand for weapons-grade plutonium fell and the reactor
and the laboratory’s 1000 employees were no longer involved in nuclear
weapons,[11][13] instead it was used for scientific research.[12] In 1946 the
first medical isotopes were produced in the X-10 reactor, by 1950 almost 20,000
samples had been shipped to various hospitals.”
