Summary

[edit]
Description

A member of a Los Alamos National Laboratory excavation crew inspects the remnants of a 1940s military truck unearthed at the Material Disposal Area B cleanup site.

The truck was unearthed inside a sealed building where digging is taking place at Material Disposal Area B (MDA-B), the Lab’s first hazardous and radioactive waste landfill.

MDA-B was used from 1944 to 1948. The rusting hulk is believed to be a Chevrolet military truck. It’s barely recognizable, but a fender, an inline six-cylinder engine block, a steering column, and part of the cab are visible.
