Summary
[edit]DescriptionLooking Towards Nevada Test Site, Nevada (10753692346).jpg |
The Nevada National Security Site (N2S2), previously the Nevada Test Site (NTS), is a United States Department of Energy reservation located in southeastern Nye County, Nevada, about 65 miles (105 km) northwest of the city of Las Vegas. Formerly known as the Nevada Proving Grounds, the site was established on 11 January 1951 for the testing of nuclear devices, covering approximately 1,360 square miles (3,500 km2) of desert and mountainous terrain. Nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site began with a 1-kilotonne-of-TNT (4.2 TJ) bomb dropped on Frenchman Flat on 27 January 1951. Many of the iconic images of the nuclear era come from the NTS. The Nevada Test Site contains 28 areas, 1,100 buildings, 400 miles (640 km) of paved roads, 300 miles of unpaved roads, ten heliports and two airstrips. The most-recent test was a sub-critical test of the properties of plutonium, conducted underground on December 7, 2012. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_test_site en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
