This report presents the results of a site inspection performed at a disposal site located approximately 150 ft southwest of Building 823 at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Site 300. LLNL is operated for the US Department of Energy by the University of California. The major programs at LLNL have been devoted to the design and testing of nuclear weapons and to magnetic fusion research. Since 1952, LLNL has added other major programs, including applied laser fusion research, laser isotope separation, biomedical and environmental studies, and applied energy technologies. Operations at Site 300 began in 1955. Major programmatic operations at Site 300 include hydrodynamic testing of non-nuclear explosive assemblies, including diagnostic tests; physical, environmental, and dynamic tests; and high explosives (HE) formulation and fabrication. In addition, particle beam research has been conducted at Site 300. Topics include stratigraphy, structure, hydrogeology, and analytical results. 11 refs., 3 figs., 3 tabs.
