Hosted by the Manhattan National Historical Park team at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), this tour will give you the opportunity to travel "behind the fence" on Laboratory property. You’ll visit Pajarito Laboratory, now called Technical Area 18, and discover everything from Los Alamos’ incredible prehistory to the beginning of the modern Laboratory – and, of course, the Manhattan Project. We’ll view the Pond Cabin, where Emilio Segrè’s Radioactivity Group made the pivotal discovery that the "Thin Man" plutonium bomb design would not work. You'll also see a battleship bunker used to protect equipment and staff during implosion design explosives testing and visit the site of Louis Slotin’s criticality accident.
