Summary

[edit]
Description

Pictured here is the accumulation area for bomblets on TTR prior to demolition. Pink flags mark every 100 bomblets.

Field crews from the Nevada Site Office environmental restoration contractor, Navarro-Intera, scoured the terrain using handheld metal detectors to locate baseball-sized bomblets or “submunitions” to a depth of 1 foot below the surface. The materials were retrieved and rendered safe by blasting them apart with explosives. They were then disposed in a landfill as inert munitions debris.
