Area 52?

Here's a link two a two-part series by Las Vegas TV investigative reporter, George Knapp, about Area 51's lesser-known sibling, Area 52.

I tried to play the videos and all I got were a bunch of commercials. Hope some of you have better luck.

Skep,

I seriously doubt anything is going on at the Tonapah test range, some military training is evident. The soils are toxic from above ground tests of the military's atomic canon. (I maintained NDT certification for the Barrel) Few aircraft fly in and out and very little traffic is noted in Tonapah using the gates. There are no roads internally connecting the Mesa and Tonapah TR suitable to transport the giant coring machines for underground work, no workers reporting in around here, in fact the entire site is gearing down. The DOE has been researching Fusion power reactors for years at INEL up around Idaho Falls Idaho. Why would they move to Nevada? The underground bubbles created by atomic blasts in the earth are unusable except for remote equipment due to uranium and plutonium contamination that will last for tens of thousands of years. Most of them get flooded. There is a geo-thermal power project at several areas near the test range (outside you can visit) and maybe one inside.

The concrete truck driver (Lears)? Well I know those guy's too, the practice before an underground test back "in the day" was to seal the air vents, created during drilling for the workers, with concrete. The trucks would be brought in to seal behind and around the huge steel doors in the tunnel. (Doors like the one at the Colorado Springs NORAD facility you always see on SG-1). I also maintained the NDT certifications on those.

If this is anything it is dis-information. imho

(Added in edit) We know when the DOE is using lots of concrete - it affects the prices considerably in everyday construction.
