(College of Agriculture Photo) U of N Gets Yucca Flat Test Bldg. LINCOLN A metal building which faced up to the atomic blast in the famous civil de fense test of May 1955 at Yucca Flat, Nevada, is now on the College of Agriculture campus at the University of Nebraska. The frameless metal build ing, which was one of 2 of sim ilar design used in the test, is a gift to the College from the producer. The building has been erected on a site near the widely-known tractor testing track at the nor theast corner of the campus. It will serve for general utility and equipment storage, accord- in"; in V. V. Lumber!, de.in or the college. It was one of two identical steel buildings which were fur nished by the Hehlens to the Atomic Energy Commission-Federal Civil Defense joint test, "Operation Cue" In 1955. Early attention centered on the teammate to this building which was located only t, !()() feet from the bla.-,t. It suffered a servere jolt but remained in tact and usable. Later it was returned to Nebraska anil erec ted at the Nebraska State Fail where 75.000 persons saw it. To day it is on view to tourists and visitors on Highway 3D at Columbus. The "other" building, which is now at the College, was lo cated 15,000 feet from the atom ic blast. The ida was to brack et the "survival range" to give scientists an indication of the blast force at different distan ces. This second building at 15.000 feet was virtually undamaged, its door being knocked ajar and a few window panes being bro ken. Other metal buildings alongside suffeied more damage but were admittedly of lighter construction. As:. College engineers have modified the building to include a double door for large equip ment. Otherwise it is the same building which stood against the atomic test of l'J.'3 which still is one of the largest blasts un loosed on the Nevada desert. The building is constructed of THE PLATTSMOUTH.
