Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
|
|
| One of the three principal federal nuclear labs, Lawrence Livermore National Lab is a complex of diverse facilities on a cramped 821 acres, at the edge of the suburban community of Livermore, California. The square plot of arid land (a former WWII airfield) is adjacent to a range of bare, rolling hills, where the Lab's field test facility, Area 300, is located (down the road from the town of Tesla). The Lab, along with its sister facility, New Mexico's Los Alamos National Lab, also has many facilities at the Nevada Test Site. Lawrence Livermore, like Los Alamos, is operated by the University of California, and employs over 7,000 people. It has an annual budget over $1 billion. It was founded by Edward Teller. |
