From its inception in 1952, Lawrence Livermore National Lab and the US Navy go way back. But all the way back to WWII? You Bet.
In the video linked below you can learn about historical aspects of the Nevada Test Site, the Navy’s early involvement in the nuclear weapons program, and a mystery pertaining to a specific relic of WWII that ended up serving the country long after her last salvo was fired.
If you want to learn more, see a link to the LLNL technical report in the comments section of the YouTube video.
