Throughout most of the 1960s the SM-Building was a very busy and undoubtedly exciting place to work. The SNAP Program was in full swing then, producing heat sources, first for demonstration purposes, then for communications and weather satellites. As the program evolved, Mound was engaged in producing plutonium-powered heat sources for medical applications, including the famous cardiac pacemaker, which supplied rhythmic electrical pulses to the human heart in order to regulate the heart beat. This paper reviews the steps the building went through in the process of being shut down, decommissioned, and finally removed.
