Summary edit

Description

Workers on Dec. 21, 2010 demolished the last and largest of 24 buildings and structures at Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Technical Area 21 slated for removal with Recovery Act funding.

Due to their age and the purposes they served, many of the buildings and structures at TA-21 were contaminated with asbestos and other chemicals and radioactive materials such as tritium, plutonium and americium. Demolition was not as easy as merely swinging a hammer or a wrecking ball and required thorough preparation and careful decontamination.
