Yes i seen them they were WORTHINGTONS. Joe Harwell was the civilian who was in charge of them. I was in B company on the north side. A company was on the south side. The portals were the entrances and went back around 150ft then went at an angle of around maybe 30deg another maybe 50ft then turned again. There was a dead end at each turn that went maybe 20ft this was for a mild explosion so the blast wouldnt go straight out the front doors. I did run on to a fellow who lived around 50mi east of there and said they a huge hole built the site then burried it as they said we were around 50 or so deep. Another fellow O.D.Ming who worked for the AEC told me he helped build it and you never told anyone nothing whether you ran a CAT or whatever and sometimes you would not see a certain worker ever again that security was of the utmost. I had a very close call shortly before i was seperated from there on a matter of procedure as i was sent the wrong place as being a short timer my name was not on the list for the daily pass word even though i had a loaded 45 and personally knew everyone i just raised my hands and told the guy on the phone that the MPs were there and what in the he// do i do now he laughed and said hand over the phone to the MPs then go into operations and ask them are you trying to get me rubbed out. This happened after i was told to do the task and i asked are you sure im on the list for the password. E-7 told me to go and stop asking questions as i run this operation. Yes the things that went on and the knowlege was an experience of a life time. I had a wonderful time there i just hope and pray that we never have to use those weapons as there has to be a better way. Would love to meet ya sometime. Had a wonderfull friend east of Temple a Mr KALVIN KREAMER as fellow tractor collector and friend who died a year ago and went to the funeral as HE and wife MARGIE came to IOWA for tractor shows. great to hear from you gene bender
