N3B is also decontaminating and demolishing facilities used in LANL’s early Cold War-era plutonium processing and radiological liquid waste treatment operations.

Material Disposal Areas

Remediate old landfills, known as Material Disposal Areas, where contaminated material from past LANL operations was disposed.
