Peak District (1954) - is an upland area in central and northern England, lying mainly in northern Derbyshire, but also covering parts of Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Staffordshire, and South and West Yorkshire.. An area of great diversity, it is conventionally split into the northern Dark Peak, where most of the moorland is found and whose geology is gritstone, and the southern White Peak, where most of the population lives and where the geology is mainly limestone-based..The Kinder Trespass in 1932 was a landmark in the campaign for national parks and open access to moorland in Britain..The northern moors of Saddleworth and Wessenden, above Meltham, gained notoriety in the 1960s as the burial site of several children ..The main roads through the Peak District are the A57 (Snake Pass) between Sheffield and Manchester, the A628 (Woodhead Pass) between Barnsley and Manchester via Longdendale, the A6 from Derby to Manchester via Buxton, and the Cat and Fiddle road from Macclesfield to Buxton..As a result of the many injuries and fatalities (33 major crashes from 1999 to 2001)the speed limit on the section between Macclesfield and the Cat and Fiddle Inn has been reduced to 50 mph (80 km/h) from the national 60 mph (97 km/h) limit...

The Nevada National Security Site (N2S2), previously the Nevada Test Site (NTS), is a United States Department of Energy reservation located in southeastern Nye County, Nevada, about 65 mi (105 km) northwest of the city of Las Vegas. Formerly known as the Nevada Proving Grounds.. the site was established on 11 January 1951 for the testing of nuclear devices, comprising approximately 1,360 sq mi (3,500 km2) of desert and mountainous terrain. Nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site began with a 1-kilotonne-of-TNT (4.2 TJ) bomb dropped on Frenchman Flat on 27 January 1951. Many of the iconic images of the nuclear era come from NTS...
The Nevada Test Site contains 28 areas, 1,100 buildings, 400 miles (640 km) of paved roads, 300 miles (480 km) of unpaved roads, ten heliports and two airstrips. The most recent test was a sub-critical test of the properties of plutonium, conducted underground on December 7, 2012...The Nevada Test Site was the primary testing location of American nuclear devices from 1951 to 1992; 928 announced nuclear tests occurred there. Of those, 828 were underground. (62 of the underground tests included multiple, simultaneous nuclear detonations, adding 93 detonations and bringing the total number of NTS nuclear detonations to 1,021, of which 921 were underground.) The site is covered with subsidence craters from the testing..
The NTS was the United States's primary location for tests in the 500-to-1,000-kilotonne-of-TNT (2,100 to 4,200 TJ) range. 126 tests were conducted elsewhere, including most larger tests. Many of these occurred at the Pacific Proving Grounds in the Marshall Islands...Mushroom cloud seen from downtown Las Vegas..During the 1950s, the mushroom clouds from atmospheric tests could be seen for almost 100 mi (160 km). The city of Las Vegas experienced noticeable seismic effects, and the distant mushroom clouds, which could be seen from the downtown hotels, became tourist attractions. The last atmospheric test detonation at the Nevada Test Site was "Little Feller I" of Operation Sunbeam, on 17 July 1962...Although the United States did not ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, it nevertheless honors the articles of the treaty, and underground testing of weapons ended as of 23September 1992..
When testing ended in 1992, the Department of Energy estimated that more than 300 million curies of radiation remained in the environment at that time, making the site one of the most radioactively contaminated locations in the United States. In the worst-affected zones, the concentration of radioactivity in affected groundwater reaches millions of picocuries per liter. (The federal standard for drinking water is 20 picocuries per liter.) Although radiation levels in the water continue to decline over time, the longer-lived isotopes could pose risks to workers or future settlers on the NNSS for tens of thousands of years...

Area 51, also officially known as Groom Lake or Homey Airport (ICAO: KXTA) is a remote detachment of Edwards Air Force Base. According to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the correct names for the Area 51 facility are the Nevada Test and Training Range and Groom Lake, though the name Area 51 has been used in official CIA documentation..Other names used for the facility include Dreamland, Paradise Ranch,Home Base, Watertown Strip, and most recently Homey Airport.. The area around the field is referred to as (R-4808N)...It is located in the southern portion of Nevada in the western United States, 83 miles (133 km) north-northwest of Las Vegas...
The original rectangular base of 6 by 10 miles (9.7 by 16 km) is now part of the so-called "Groom box", a rectangular area measuring 23 by 25 miles (37 by 40 km), of restricted airspace.. The area is connected to the internal Nevada Test Site (NTS) road network, with paved roads leading south to Mercury and west to Yucca Flat...After leaving the restricted area, Groom Lake Road descends eastward to the floor of the Tikaboo Valley, passing the dirt-road entrances to several small ranches, before converging with State Route 375, the "Extraterrestrial Highway", south of Rachel..Groom Lake Road runs through a pass in the Jumbled Hills...
Area 51 shares a border with the Yucca Flat region of the Nevada Test Site, the location of 739 of the 928 nuclear tests conducted by the United States Department of Energy at NTS.. The Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository is 44 miles (71 km) southwest of Groom Lake..The Groom Lake test facility was established by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for Project Aquatone, the development of the Lockheed U-2 strategic reconnaissance aircraft in April 1955...

Wild Vegas parties celebrated atomic bomb tests of the 1950s
Crooners, bright lights, the ringing of slot machines, and...atomic bombs? This strange combination became a reality in Las Vegas during the 1950s. Scheduled nuclear detonations at the Nevada Proving Ground gave plenty of opportunities to party and raise a glass to a mushroom cloud. How did this bizarre slice of history come together in the desert sands?
Birth of the Nevada Proving Ground
In January 1951, a 65-mile plot of desert land outside of La Vegas, the Nevada Proving Ground, became the site of the first Vegas area atomic bomb test. The flash of the first bomb, codenamed Able, could be seen over 400 miles away in San Francisco, California. The power of this first test dwarfed the combined might of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima ad Nagasaki.
And of course, the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce celebrated the 235 tests that took place at the Nevada Proving Ground, designating the area a tourist attraction until 1963, when the detonations had to be moved underground due to the Limited Test Ban Treaty. The city of Las Vegas often jumped to attach itself to federal projects in hopes of luring tourists, publicizing itself as the "The Gateway to the Boulder Dam" in the decades prior.
Publicized Bomb Schedule
What's the best way to make world-devastating tests beloved by the public? Advertise them as entertainment spectacles! Roughly one detonation occurred every three weeks throughout the 1950s just outside of Las Vegas. To capitalize on this spectacle, the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce created a calendar detailing the time of the detonations, along with suggested viewing spots. The Proving Ground also employed several thousand individuals, and the city of Las Vegas proved to be a perfect getaway spot.
Las Vegas earned the nickname Atomic City USA, and the nightlife took advantage of this label. The heyday of the Nevada Proving Ground coincided with the rise of lavish casinos and the beginning of the Rat Pack era in Vegas. Thanks to the unusual combination of atomic bombs and slot machines, eight million people visited Las Vegas in 1954.
