This is probably one of the scariest things I've ever seen. Does anybody know what became of this test sites? Are they restricted, what are the radiation levels

Yucca Flat has been called "the most irradiated, nuclear-blasted spot on the face of the earth".[2] In March 2009, TIME identified the 1970 Yucca Flat Baneberry Test, where 86 workers were exposed to radiation, as one of the world's worst nuclear disasters.

  In 2004 while living in New Mexico, I went and visited the trinity site, stood at the base of the tower, walked around, took pictures - the usual thing. If there wasn't stuff telling you a detonation had taken place, I doubt you'd be able to tell without a geiger counter. Theres a nice bowl shaped depression in the ground, and that's really about it. I had figured there'd be, I dunno, a big scar on the ground or something, but there really isnt. Life goes on there.
