Between Killerzzz and LaFille you are close enough. Not The Nuke tests, but a bombing practice range. This next one will be tough--so here is a hint--it was inspired by Killerzzzz's last guess.

Hmmm, then it must be a silo, but where... *thinks hard* *Brain breaks* Killerzzz

Good guess, but not a silo.

OK. Besides silos and test sites, what other locations are associated with nuclear explosions?

Chernobyl

Chernobyl Good guess, but we are looking for a site related to a nuclear explosion rather than a nuclear accident.

Ooo, is it a famous nuclear power plant meltdown of some sort? I don't know of any, but that might be a *hint hint* for everyone. If its even right, of course. Killerzzz

Glance, that is a good guess, but incorrect.
The answer is not a nuclear test facility. It is not a power plant, or a place where weapons are made or launched. It is not some obscure place that nobody has heard of either. Everyone is familiar with the name.

Hmm - associated with nuclear explosions, but not a testing site, power plant or weapon facility...
So, totally new approach - 'nuclear' explosions are also an astronomical phenomen - so maybe it's an observatory? The picture fits that, I think.
Now, which one? Palomar, near San Diego (belongs to CalTech, I believe), relatively old and famous?

Three Mile Island ??
Or maybe the 1944 explosion of the Liberty Ship Bryan in Port Chicage Ca... but I don't think you would be able to get pictures... ;D

Glance is correct about there being a dome. However, it is not an observatory. The dome does have some significance of interest. Even if the dome were not present, though, the location in the picture is still of significant historical importance.
