Frenchman Flat

thmb-980413-3-2-PHOTO-BUNKERS-FF

These bunkers were built to house instruments and cameras during atomic weapons tests. Like the tests involving the Huron-King vacuum chamber, the scientists were primarily interested in the first few milliseconds rather than the destruction.
That they remain on Frenchman Flat is a testament to their construction and placement in the desert. There was an ocean here, but it was eons ago.
