After spending months working to produce only a few pounds of plutonium, which was still more than had ever existed in the world, the Hanford scientists began storing the precious material in vaults in the side of Gable Mountain, the land formation nearby the Hanford Area. The plutonium in these vaults would be transported to Los Alamos at intervals throughout the year, but after the bombs were dropped, the remaining plutonium was kept in these vaults until instruction was given to move it.
