Demolition of former laboratory disposal area brings unique challenges.
The Los Alamos National Laboratories will begin a demolition project Wednesday that will help close its largest active disposal area known as “Area G.”
The project will demolish a 22,500 square foot containment dome that once stored drums of radioactive waste.
Lab officials said the project is also important to the San Ildefonso Pueblo Native Americans, whose sacred land borders the technical area.
