Record of Decision Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test Facility

The Department of Energy (DOE) is issuing this Record of Decision (ROD) regarding the DOE's proposed Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in northern New Mexico. DOE has decided to complete and operate the DARHT facility at LANL while implementing a program to conduct most tests inside steel containment vessels, with containment to be phased in over ten years. The environmental analysis to support this decision was issued by DOE in the August 1995, DARHT Facility Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), DOE/EIS-0228, which identified the Phased Containment Option of the Enhanced Containment Alternative as DOE's preferred alternative. DOE has decided to implement the preferred alternative.
