Plans For ‘Dirty Bomb’ Nuclear Drill During Indy 500 Race

A week after completing a simulated “dirty bomb” attack in Austin, Texas, the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) plans to conduct three days of helicopter survey flights to test for radiation over the Indianapolis Motor Speedway complex starting May 25.

According to the NNSA, the agency will conduct low-altitude aerial surveys during the Indianapolis 500 race taking place on May 29.
