Cactus Dome was built by Atomic Cleanup Veterans on the most radioactive island in the world.
The Cactus Dome Radiation Containment Structure on Runit Island at Enewetak Atoll contains 111,000 cubic yards of radioactive soils and debris from 43 atomic bomb tests.

Looking for US Navy Deep Sea Divers that served on the clean up team. TAD from HCU 2.
I was there for 12 months 78 thru 79. Lots of stories and pics.
Hi all, hope your all doing well. I have watched alot of special reports on Enewetak Atoll and I spent about 1 year there in 1984. I see now and maybe it was noticed earlier that due to global warming water is penetrating cactus dome. Its been along time since I have posted and I was hoping to catch up if anyone cares to communicate.
Thanks and take care,

I’ve lost a very close friend related to this devastating situation. The government owes so much to these families
I am sorry to hear that. I do agree with you, Don’t we will get anywhere.
I know the dome well, I spent many days there surveying in the forms.
