For anyone who's curious, this is where a lot of those tests took place: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.065316,-116.0439398,11330m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu

Area 51 is just a little further up the road from that valley.

Dear Safety-Conscious Citizen -

We are writing to inform you that your family was not selected for inclusion in your chosen Vault-Tec facility. Your deposit has been retained, and your application added to a waiting list for your preferred Vault. In the interest of your family's security in the event of a minor nuclear event, please consider relocating to one of these areas, where Vault-Tec facilities are available without a waiting list.
