| Doing Business with the Nevada Operations Office |
| The Nevada Operations Office was created and located in Las Vegas,
Nevada, in 1962, to oversee and take responsibility for the operations and programs of the
Nevada Test Site. Our current primary mission is to preserve the nation's capability to
resume testing and maintain the strategic nuclear stockpile. The Nevada Test Site also serves the nation as a proving ground for alternative energy research and Department of Defense projects that require the isolation, complex infrastructure, and technical expertise we can provide. As a National Environmental Research park, the Nevada Test Site is home to important environmental activities including technology development, clean up and remediation of contaminated environments, and waste management. The Test Site is a unique outdoor laboratory where federal agencies and private industry conduct large-scale open-air experiments with hazardous and toxic chemicals and test remediation and emergency response techniques.
