Using theoretical information garnered from the operation of CP-1, DuPont constructed an air-cooled experimental production reactor, known as X-10, and a pilot chemical separation facility at Oak Ridge. The separation facility, using methods developed by Glenn T. Seaborg and a team of researchers at the Met Lab, removed plutonium from uranium irradiated in the X-10 reactor.
DuPont created an experimental production reactor called X-10 and a pilot chemical separation facility at Oak Ridge based on theoretical information from CP-1's operation. The separation process utilized methods by Glenn T. Seaborg and his team, which extracted plutonium from uranium irradiated in the X-10 reactor.
