To further prepare the teams, they will perform water sampling and analyses techniques at the RAD Liquid Waste Facility at Technical Area 50. Finally, the teams are required to review the Laboratory's Material Safety Data Sheet before they can begin their projects. The program also includes a night of swimming at the Larry R. Walkup Aquatic Center and visits to the Bradbury Science Museum and Bandelier National Monument. Enter said visits to other Lab sites are possible as well.
