FY 2014 Status Report
Page 2Page 2TitleID 823 – Page 2Log No. 2014-178
Nevada National Security Site (NNSS)• Located approximately 65 miles
northwest of Las Vegas, NV
• Approximately 1,360 square miles of U.S. DOE controlled land
• Historic mission: Research and development of nuclear weapons
• Clean-up controlled by Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order
