The Civil Defense ''Apple-2'' shot on May 5, 1955 was intended to test various building construction types in a nuclear blast. An assortment of buildings, including residential houses and [[electrical substation]]s, were constructed at the site nicknamed "'''Survival Town'''" by some and "'''Doom Town'''" by others.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Tunc |first1=Tanfer Emin |title=Eating in Survival Town: Food in 1950s Atomic America |journal=Cold War History |date=3 April 2015 |volume=15 |issue=2 |pages=179–200 |doi=10.1080/14682745.2014.950239|s2cid=153868990 }}</ref> The buildings were populated with mannequins, and stocked with different types of canned and packaged foods. Not all of the buildings were destroyed in the blast, and some of them still stand at [[Area 1 (Nevada National Security Site)|Area 1]], Nevada Test Site. A short film about the blast, referred to as "Operation Cue", was distributed by the [[Federal Civil Defense Administration]]. The houses are still standing at {{coord|37.04476|-116.07416|display=inline}}, at the east and west ends of the road loop. They are stops on the [[Nevada National Security Site]] (NNSS) tour.
