Dave Bullock recently toured the Los Alamos Sales Company (aka The Black Hole), a Los Alamos National Laboratory salvage yard in Los Alamos, NM. Here’s Dave’s full write-up of his visit, which includes some great HDR photos he shot while there.

The Black Hole of Los Alamos, a recycler of “nuclear waste,” has the world’s most diverse stock of used scientific equipment, electronics, lab supplies, nuclear by-products, surplus items and manterials. We have over 17,000 square feet of pre-owned test equipment and laboratory supplies. The Black Hole has provided materials to over 500 Universities and Research Institutions around the world as well as technical props for 4 major motion pictures.

UPDATE: Last year Telstar Logistics paid a visit to The Black Hole as well.
