Nevada Test Site Farm (EPA)

USA / Nevada / Indian Springs /

research, radiation

This was a farm set up by the EPA, presumably to test the affects of radiation on livestock.

From GlobalSecurity.org:
"As part of the nation’s long-range health and safety program, an experimental 30-acre dairy farm was developed and operated in Area 15 between 1965 and 1981. The purpose of this extensive research program was to study the passage of airborne radionuclides through the soil-forage-cow-milk-food chain."
