Nuclear Disposal Area B7

The Seance Spectre

Nuclear Disposal Area B7 is an early experimental nuclear waste dump. It is seen in The Seance Spectre, and is exploded to alter the Moon's trajectory. It is accessible from Moonbase Alpha by moonbuggy- which must mean only a few kilometers away (hence the zero survival rate when they are detonated).

The Seance Spectre

An aerial overview: several widely spaced silo caps are seen.

The Seance Spectre

An aerial overview: these are two waste monitoring depots identical to those in NDA2.

The Seance Spectre

The girderwork is just visible on these silo caps. The numbers visible here are 1-4.

The Seance Spectre

The cap includes a wide plinth with a cylindrical cap and girderwork structure (which may have been used originally to lower the nuclear waste into the deep silos).

The Seance Spectre

A closer look at cap 5 (the full size set). The plinth is not as wide, but otherwise the model and full sized set are pretty close.

The cover being blown open. Note the DANGER RADIATION illuminated signs on the perimeter, and the yellow equipment bin alongside (the latter was also present in NDA2).

The Seance Spectre

Just before the final detonation (model set). Note again the radiation signs around.

A very clear view of the two silos, 5 and 6. The two handles on the buttresses of the silos also appear on NDA2 waste caps.

The Seance Spectre

In this view you can see the studio roof... A good side view of a danger sign.

The Seance Spectre

Silo 6 beyond does not have a girderwork structure over the cap.

The Seance Spectre

When the cover is open, a deep vertical silo is revealed.

Despite the radiation symbols and danger signs the main risk is actually falling...
