What is it - edition 7

Time for another round of 'What Is It?'.

Have fun.....

I will give one clue of the top - the material of the dome-shaped thing is made of concrete.

No, but I have a mind to declare you the winner just for that witty answer. [Snort]

I saw that before......think brain think......is it a nuclear waste plant or something along that line?

Karl Plesz said...

Jim is getting hotter. I will give a small hint. It is located on an island in the Pacific.

How about a nuclear testing site......fal

Bikini Atoll in the Pacific for 500 Karl

It's actually pretty close to 2 test sites: Bikini and Rongelap atolls.

Close enough. Here's what it is:

Beneath this concrete dome on Runit Island, part of Enewetak Atoll, built 1977 - 1980 at a cost of about $239 million, lie 111,000 cubic yards of radioactive soil and debris from Bikini / Rongelap atolls (A-bomb tests). The dome covers the 30-foot deep, 350-foot wide crater created by the May 5, 1958, Cactus test.
