The "Tomb" on Runit Island, Enewetak Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands.  The Tomb consists of 73,000 cubic meters of contaminated soil from previous nuclear tests. A colonel  from the Pentagon overseeing the project told Glenn Alcalay in 1980 "there is communication between the dome and the lagoon"

                                                 U P D A T E!
While the world has been watching the nasty and dangerous "Tomb" on Runit, it has been known that the REAL radioactive threat at Enewetak is not the "Tomb," but rather the tons of radioactive topsoil bulldozed into the lagoon during the 1970s "clean up" operation at Enewetak utilizing four thousand men - aka "atomic veterans" who were exposed to radiation during the operation.
Go here for an
astute article in the N.Y. Times by renowned law professor Michael Gerrard, who visited the "Tomb" in 2010:   https://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/04/opinion/a-pacific-isle-radioactive-and-forgotten.html
