Lead, S.D.
Fermilab is planning to build a $50 million facility in Lead, S.D., as the first phase of the $867 million Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) project. Housing a $250 million neutrino detector, the building will feature concrete walls ten feet thick to provide temperature insulation and shielding from cosmic rays. The detector itself will contain 10 kilotons of liquid Argon to provide cryostasis, the process of cooling to low sub-zero temperatures. The facility will be sited near the Sanford Underground Research Facility.
