The DOE Office of Legacy Management took responsibility for the Utah site in 2019. The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission conducted site activities under the Plowshare Program during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The program’s goal was to use nuclear explosives for peaceful purposes. The Plowshare Program includes sites managed by LM where AEC conducted non-nuclear tests or where AEC canceled planned nuclear tests. LM performs minor maintenance and keeps records and histories for these sites. For more information about the Plowshare Program sites, view the fact sheet.
