Site 300 (S300) firing facilities at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) include a Contained Firing Facility (CFF) at Building 801 (B801) and the open-air shot table at Building 851. The B801 facility includes a 60-kg firing chamber and related support areas, and provides blast-effects containment for high explosive firing operations. Even though these operations are within current environmental limits, containment of the blast effects and hazardous debris further reduces emissions to the environment and minimizes the hazardous and radioactive waste generated.
