Old Nuclear Test Site

The old nuclear test site is a location in the Mojave Wasteland.

Layout
The old nuclear test site is a highly radioactive area of the desert inhabited by feral ghoul reavers and glowing ones. Feral ghouls also wander the surrounding hills.

Although the site is mostly fenced off and inaccessible, the nuclear test shack in the compound can be entered. On a nearby hill to the northwest is a sandbagged observation area with chairs and five pairs of authority glasses.

Appearances
The old nuclear test site appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
The test site is a location based on the real world Nevada Test Site which was established in 1951 approximately 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas. On the 1360 square mile testing site there were 100 atomic tests that could be felt and seen from the hotel balconies in the city, creating another tourist attraction in the process.
