Oak Ridge became famous during World War II due to the company Y-12 building a manufacturing plant and developing the H bomb. This was the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. You can come anytime and tour the the museum they have built regarding the company and what steps they went through to develop this bomb.

Oak Ridge is actually one of the first cities to assist in making an atomic bomb. It used to be called the Secret City around East Tennessee. The Y-12 and Oak Ridge National Lab have a major presence in the town and are highly respected by the people who reside here.
