Yesterday's Las Vegas Review-Journal had an article on the NTS and the
arrested state of tests that were in progress when the moratorium took
effect October 2, 1992. The article is at

There were also three photos with the article:

shows the Icecap test emplacement tower and the huge crane used to lower
the test rack; Chuck Costa, field director for LLNL, is in the
foreground.

http://www.lvrj.com/lvrj_home/1997/May-12-Mon-1997/photos/test2.jpg was
taken inside the tower, showing the test rack hovering above the doors
to the emplacement hole. For scale, the rack is seven feet in diameter.

And http://www.lvrj.com/lvrj_home/1997/May-12-Mon-1997/photos/test3.jpg
is quite revealing, showing a mock nuclear device within the test rack.
This would have been a classified photo if testing was still being done.
