  • Sumário

  • The Abandoned Westinghouse Atom Smasher, located in Forest Hills, Pennsylvania, was part of a groundbreaking effort in nuclear physics during the 1950s. Originally built by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, the facility housed a particle accelerator that was instrumental in advancing research on atomic and subatomic particles. However, by the late 1970s, as funding for nuclear research diminished and safety concerns increased, the atom smasher was left to decay. Despite its abandonment, the site has become a point of interest for urban explorers and historians, highlighting both the ambitions of mid-20th-century science and the complex legacy of nuclear technology. Today, remnants of the structure serve as a reminder of a pivotal era in scientific exploration, marked by both innovation and caution.
