The Pros And Cons Of Groom Lake

Ever wondered what was hidden behind the fences of Groom Lake, which is known to the civilian world as Area 51. Most people think that Groom Lake is an area where they have UFO’s or technology not ready for the world to see just yet. Well it is also a Nevada test site and majority of the people are going to the Yucca Mountain which is the controversial nuclear-waste storage site. This site has been proposed to accept high-level radioactive materials by the year 2005. Out of 1375 square miles 42 are contaminated and 106 of it is disturbed by the program testing, which is cleaner then the Rocky Flats in Colorado and Hanford in Washington. William L. Fox and Matt Coolidge who is the director of Center for Land Use Interpretation, which is non profit organization that catalogs sites of unusual land use and makes them accessible through visual documentation, will be going

This experiment was conducted to see the effects of the blasts and radiation would do to military equipment.

There was a different case in 1986 when a power plant in Ukraine killed 31 people and at the time the Soviets declared that only a few thousand would be affected by the contamination. In the spring of 2000 the Health Ministry has declared 3.5 million people have gotten sick or will be affected as a result of the reactor explosion. Why is there such a huge increase in people from the years of 1986-2000 well its because the governments have a tendency to protect their capital gains or their political powers which causes the quarantine zones to take longer in
