Zustand: Good. One of multiple copies made. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. The top third of the page is the title and legend information. The bottom two-thirds is a map with Amarillo and the routes to the Pantex Plant the major focus but directions to Denver, Lubbock, Dallas, Oklahoma city and the Panhandle pre…sent. There are 13 hotels listed/shown on the map. This is an important snapshot in time, as it presents a view of the economic development toward the end of the 20th century. Earlier and later maps can be expected to show changes in some road ways, hotels, and possibly inclusion of other landmarks, such as The Big Texan. For those doing research on activities in Amarillo and/or at the Pantex Plant at the turn of the century, which single page map provides a significant data point. While the map portion is data October 1997, the legend refers to BWXT which did not take over the contract until 2001. Pantex is the primary United States nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility that aims to maintain the safety, security and reliability of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile. The facility is located on a 16,000-acre (25 sq mi) site 17 miles northeast of Amarillo, in Carson County, Texas in the Panhandle of Texas. The plant is managed and operated for the United States Department of Energy by Consolidated Nuclear Security and Sandia National Laboratories. Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC (CNS) is composed of member companies Bechtel National, Inc., Leidos, Inc., Orbital ATK, Inc, and SOC LLC, with Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. as a teaming subcontractor. CNS also operates the Y-12 National Security Complex. As a major national security site, the plant and its grounds are strictly controlled, and the airspace above and around the plant is prohibited to civilian air traffic by the FAA as Prohibited Area P-47. The Pantex plant was originally constructed as a conventional bomb plant for the United States Army Air Force during the early days of World War II. The Pantex Ordnance Plant was authorized February 24, 1942. Construction was completed on November 15, 1942 and workers from all over the U.S. flocked to Amarillo for jobs. Pantex was abruptly deactivated when the war ended and remained vacant until 1949, when Texas Technological College in Lubbock (now Texas Tech University) purchased the site for $1. Texas Tech used the land for experimental cattle-feeding operations. In 1951, at the request of the Atomic Energy Commission (now the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)), the Army exercised a recapture clause in the sale contract and reclaimed the main plant and 10,000 acres of surrounding land for use as a nuclear weapons production facility. The Atomic Energy Commission refurbished and expanded the plant at a cost of $25 million. The remaining 6,000 acres of the original site were leased from Texas Tech in 1989. Pantex was operated by Procter & Gamble from 1951 to 1956, Mason & Hanger from 1956 to 2001, and Babcock & Wilcox from 2001 to 2014. Single sheet, printed on one side.
