People working on the Manhattan Project during World War II had to wear buttons to indicate their security status – this is a warm-hued tribute a cinematic representation of this sort of button.

When on base in Los Alamos, the New Mexico town selected for the Manhattan Project, personnel wore round badges with combinations of letters and numbers. These refer to the identification numbers they were assigned upon arriving at Los Alamos.

A nuclear family is a family group consisting of parents and their children, typically living in one home residence.

In actual ID photos taken for security purposes, you can see their number on the image. Robert Oppenheimer’s number was K-6.

One button for the man and the lady of the house, and one smaller button for each child! ASK if you would like to mix up the colors!
