Nuclear contamination wouldn't explain the busses (and airplanes) that go in and out of there every day. they'd have to decontaminate them every time they left the base (and how do you decontaminate a radioactive plane AFTER it takes off from A51 and BEFORE it lands anywhere else?). Even if this were the case, eventually a mistake would happen and the public would get irradiated. The scenario doesn't make sense. What DOES make sense is that A51 has a bigassed runway. That makes it the perfect place to test new airplanes - if you have trouble on takeoff, you have a LOT of room to land again without having to go around. It's so secure because they're testing black aircraft that no one is supposed to know about yet. I'd be willing to bet you that the SR71, the F117, the U2, and the B2 were all tested at Area 51.
