Production. New Tennessee Valley Authority synthetic ammonia plant. An operator adjusts a gate valve in the ammonia condenser section of the TVA's new synthetic ammonia plant in the Muscle Shoals area. Ammonia is made here by the high-pressure synthesis of nitrogen and hydrogen. The ammonia thus secured is converted at Muscle Shoals into ammonium nitrate for use in the making of high explosive shells.
