How DARHT Works - the World's Most Powerful X-ray Machine

The Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory is an essential scientific tool that supports Stockpile Stewardship at the Laboratory. The World's most powerful x-ray machine, it's used to take high-speed images of mock nuclear devices - data that is used to confirm and modify advanced computer codes in assuring the safety, security, and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear deterrent.

Wow, awesome. I enjoyed working w/ya'll at CWX's mixed waste and cylinder mngt program w/ J Kelly in the day. Fascinating facility. Wonder what happened to that u/w telescope retention basin I dewatered back in '97, that University of California project...at Fenton Hill.
