Nuclear Disposal Area 2 opened in 1994 and was operating for 5 years before it exploded on September 13th 1999, blasting the Moon out of Earth orbit. Activities were monitored from the Monitoring Depot. The site is much bigger than Area 1 (140 times as much nuclear waste), and unlike the earlier construction it includes synthocrete radiation covers and a perimeter laser fence. |

Overview of Area 2. The view including the Monitoring Depot (with an Eagle unloading into the central hub) was filmed but cut.
An Eagle with cargo pallet unloads nuclear waste cans into the central hub, which automatically loads them into the deep silos. Presumably the hub moves around the Area filling the silos.
The laser fence. Why such security on the far side of the Moon only accessible to technicians? The other areas such as NDA 1 do not have any visible barriers.
The interior of the disposal area. This area is cluttered with boxes, blue tubing and yellow bins (roadside grit bins, common in the UK). NDA 1 is said to have had artificial gravity; evidently NDA 2 does not (except in the monitoring depot).
