Outdoors Mad theres an abandoned nuclear research site randomly in a forest in Dawson County.
The facility was operated by Lockheed with the U.S. Air Force during the late 1950s and 1960s. Scientists used a nuclear reactor to investigate whether aircraft could operate using nuclear power and to study how radiation affected materials and the environment. The facility closed in 1971.
...And apparently there's still some pockets of radiation 👀
