January 14, 2009

National Security Technologies (NSTec) welcomed employees and their families to two open house events in November.

The North Las Vegas Facility, Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL)-Nellis and the Nevada Test Site (NTS) showcased their facilities to more than 600 visitors over a one-week period.

“The theme of NSTec’s first open house in eight years –Proud Past, Exciting Future– demonstrates how NSTec, with participation from the Nevada Site Office, contractors and labs, has successfully progressed through vital projects that support our mission in serving national security,” says NSTec President Steve Younger.

More than 30 venues were displayed.
