Sandia National Laboratories–Livermore
State: California
Location: Livermore
Time Period: 1956-present
Facility Type: Department of Energy
Facility Description: Sandia National Laboratory-Livermore was established in 1956 to conduct research and development in the interest of national security. The principal emphasis was on development and engineering of the parts of nuclear weapons outside the warhead physics package. The site was selected for its proximity to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to facilitate a close working relationship between the two laboratories.
Throughout the course of its operations, the potential for beryllium exposure existed at this site, due to beryllium use, residual contamination, and decontamination activities.
CONTRACTORS: Lookheed Martin (1995-present); Martin Marietta (1993-1995); AT&T (1951-1993)
*Sandia supported the new nuclear weapons laboratory in Livermore from its creation in 1952. In 1956, Sandia officially established a second laboratory and transferred personnel from Albuquerque to Livermore and began building a site there, just across East Avenue from the University of California Radiation Laboratory, Livermore (now Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory).
