Notes
  • Significance: Building 2201 is significant for its role in the scientific experiments associated with the Pluto program at the Nevada Test Site in the development and testing of a nuclear reactor for a ramjet propulsion system, an important military goal involving the feasibility and applicability of nuclear-propelled low-altitude missiles in the national defense of the United States. It was one of three related facilities and it primarily served for disassembling the reactors after being tested so as to be able to study the components and improve on them.
  • Survey number: HAER NV-32-A
  • Building/structure dates: 1960 Initial Construction
