You may be right. Keep researching as will I. It does sound somewhat unexplained really. Not enough justifying info.

I don't know...Maybe

In the interest of accuracy, the link does NOT state that it conducts underground nuclear testing. On the contrary:

Test data will help maintain the reliability of the nuclear weapons stockpile by allowing scientists to gain more knowledge of the dynamic properties of aging nuclear materials. Of particular interest is data on the behavior of plutonium that can be used in computer calculations of nuclear weapon performance and safety in the absence of actual underground nuclear testing. (emphasis added)

Remember, underground nuclear testing is illegal by the International Nuclear Test Ban treaty, which to my knowledge the US is a part of. Also remember that underground explosions (as well as above-ground) produce telltale seismic signatures. The US used this method to demonstrate that other countries have conducted testing (I believe this was how they corroborated Pakistan's nuclear claim).

I make no claims on whether or not their purported purpose is true. I just feel the need for correct info.

That reminds me of the bunker they used in the movie War Games. "Underground Nuclear Testing Facility"... Yeah right, probably a shielded computer or research facility. Underground makes it easier to hide the machines. Also could be an inlet to an underground base network.

I don't think it's much, given that the facility appears to be fairly run-down and in disrepair.

Looks can be decieving lol. It's hard to say about what this could actually be used for.

My post about disrepair refers not to the pictur, but to the letter, which I posted the link for.

I just found it curious how they admitted to constructing a whole facility underground and everything, you know?

I think that it is definitely possible that something "else" is going on there. Who knows, maybe it is a "link" or a "point of entry"?
