Located on a 16,000-acre site 20 miles northeast of Amarillo, it serves as the United States' primary facility for assembling and dismantling nuclear weapons. The growth followed a workload increase of more than 70% as the plant worked to maintain the safety, security, and reliability of the country's nuclear stockpile.
