Site 300
|
|
| A test range and proving ground located in the bare, rolling Altamont Hills between the town of Tracy and Lawrence Livermore National Lab. One of the premier explosives R&D sites in the country, the 11 square mile range is considered part of the Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore Lab. Facilities include: two high explosive firing areas; a chemical processing lab; the Flash X-Ray Facility and other particle beam research facilities; the Contained Firing Facility, used to study the dynamics of explosions; an administration area near the main gate; and the world's largest gun, the Super-High-Altitude Research Project, part of a study of a new method of putting objects into orbit. |
