The Hallam
Nuclear Power
Facility was
constructed between
1958 and 1963 as an
experimental nuclear
power plant for the
Atomic Energy
Commission. After
the Commission
(today known as the
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission) acquired
the information it
needed, the nuclear
portion of the
facility was
decommissioned and
the equipment and
parts were sent to
other nuclear plants
or disposal sites.
What couldn't be
moved was sealed and
buried in large
vaults beneath the
earth's surface at
the plant. The
burial site is
regularly monitored
by the Nebraska
Department of
Health.
