Oh wow, there are Google Reviews for the Castle Bravo Test Site!

Very pretty sunsets all day and night. I really appreciate the management expanding the swimming area, too.

Liked: Great baked fish!
Disliked: Place seems dead sometimes

I went there for fun and left with 4 arms, 45 fingers and 8 testicles....I was ever so happy

Yes. Duga‐3 itself is inside the exclusion zone.

Google Earth (and stalker: SOC) show how huge the Chernobyl NPP was. It was setup with four reactors, and two additional ones were being constructed at the time of the explosion. The scale of that facility is incredible.

Bruce NGS is also rather large, and has the largest net electrical output of any NGS.

That has one hell of a switchyard. Too bad there's no HVDC valve halls.

Too bad I can't get a clear view of the transformers on the side of the turbine halls. Those things must be more than a thousand MVAs (megavolt-ampere). I think that's a CanDU reactor system as well.

Has this been posted here yet? If not I'm very curious

if you switch to Map view there is some text there in Russian or Kazakh maybe but I can't read it

Maybe it was an old SAM site? I'd expect there to be some remnants in the center where the radar would have been.
