Work crews using heavy equipment have torn down a 1960s era train shed at the Department of Energy’s Nevada National Security Site, DOE announced last week.
“We are pleased to get this structure to the ground as part of our long term cleanup mission,” DOE Office of Environmental Management Nevada Program Manager Robert Boehlecke said in a June 10 news release.
The structure, officially Building 3901 but more commonly called the “train shed,” is part of the Engine Maintenance, Assembly and Disassembly complex at the Nevada National Security Site, according to the release.
With the train shed down, contractor Navarro Research & Engineering will now turn its attention to the rest of the 100,000-square-feet Engine Maintenance, Assembly and Disassembly center, which includes what was once the largest hot cell in the world, according to DOE.
