RICHLAND — A stinger missile and part of a Scud missile are among the teaching tools on display at the Tri-Cities’ newest classroom building.
On Monday, the Department of Energy dedicated a new 6,500-square-foot building to provide training in international border protection and help ease the space squeeze at the HAMMER training center north of Richland.
The classrooms were put into immediate use. Representatives of Nigeria, Austria, Scotland and the United States spent Monday learning about preventing smuggling of nuclear materials as part of a class for the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna.
The building was built with $2.5 million allocated by the U.S. State Department in 2005.
