Demolition starts in earnest at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Lab officials invited dignitaries to a ceremony yesterday to watch an excavator begin breaking down the walls of one of the largest buildings at the Los Alamos National Laboratory‘s Technical Area 21, a 2,000 square metre structure used as an administration building for decades.
The demolition is part of a program to dismantle a quarter-mile complex that was the second generation of buildings at the lab, which grew out of the secret Manhattan Project that developed the world’s first atomic bomb during World War II.
