LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) - Officials say volunteers are needed to get the Manhattan Project National Historical Park at Los Alamos started.
Park Ranger Kirk Singer told the Los Alamos Monitor (https://goo.gl/Io6yNm ) last week around 10 volunteers are being sought to work the visitor’s center and help plan guided ranger walks.
During the World War II-era Manhattan Project, scientists in the then-secret town of Los Alamos worked to develop an atomic bomb later dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
