So we are out in the desert.
There is nothing here.... EXCEPT ... INEL ... Idaho Nuclear Energy Labs. Now INL.
INEL is where they tested all the early stuff in nuclear engineering... It is in the middle of NOWHERE! Totally in the middle of nowhere!
It is also the place where they educated all the nuclear submarine engineers and captains.
As a tribute to the people at INEL, the Navy decided to honor the commitment of local people by placing the tower of a nuke sub in Arco, the nearest town. Arco was the first place in the US powered by nuke energy. No one glows there.
It is quite unusual to see a submarine in the middle of the desert. Do you thing the rest of it is under the ground?
