The history of WIPP

In 1975, the nation asked Sandia to consider building a repository for the disposal of radioactive transuranic defense waste, resulting in one of the most controversial and important projects in U.S. history.

The Saturn accelerator, built in 1987, tests countermeasures used to protect electronics and other materials against X-ray radiation from nuclear weapons.
