The former military site which was used to test nuclear weapons soon might be used to create lab-grown diamonds. The act of installing includes a cylindrical pool with 10 centimeters thick walls, 24 meters in diameter and 24 meters deep, and containing an immersed 450 tons steel ball 12 meters in diameter.
