In Reply to: RE: As an epilogue of sorts they had a list of cities in . . posted by Billy Wonka on October 30, 2016 at 11:21:07
I did look. Mil sites of course are off limits, and there are several of those in the Basin.
More readily found are references to fallout sites; most notably Las Vegas and St George UT. LV received quakes and beautiful light shows, but winds blew mostly north or east. St George was where people were based for filming Genghis Kahn, John Wayne's fiasco. He, Susan Hayward, and many others later died from cancer, probably related to high level of blast fallout and radioactive dust blowing in and around the work sites while they were there.Other than that, there are references to many ranches with dead radioactive livestock.
Much of the U mining in the US was in southeastern UT. The big community in those parts is Moab. A book that overs most things regarding U procurement is "Uranium", by Tom Zoellner, cr 2009. Fascinating reading.

If it's a "closed city" you're not supposed to be able to find it. I'd like to know myself because it listed Oak Ridge and a city in Washington as once closed.
Just trying to add some info, digging through a couple of books I have. Its an interesting topic.
Los Alamos was a closed city once. Now you can enjoy the sun sitting outside Starbucks.
Under Glasnost, a number of Russian secret cities were opened a bit to allow scientists working under contract to Multilateral donor organizations in order to provide technical support to the USSR. They were, according to all accounts, technologically backward, inefficient and dangerous to humans and the environment.
I don't know what has happened since then, but I really don't trust these kinds of documentaries to explain the situation accurately. They are dominated by conspiracy theories where, in many cases, lack of scientific knowledge, management stupidity and bureaucratic inertia have been the main culprits.
But I do hope this one, gets it right.
Those old early 50s Russian tubes we all like so much were produced in closed cities in the USSR.
Better get out your geiger counters!
