If it ever gets built, the proposed CMRR-Nuclear Facility in Los Alamos would consume $6 billion or more of increasingly scarce tax money. Construction would clog the roads with trucks hauling 400,000 tons of volcanic ash to be stored somewhere. Three newly constructed concrete batch plants along Pajarito Road would produce some 350,000 tons of concrete to fill a 125-foot deep fresh hole in the earth. The CMRR-Nuclear Facility would essentially be a 406,000-square-foot bunker, mainly hidden under the ground for fear of incoming enemy rockets.
