It's just a separate section within the main Lab campus. It's easy enough to spot - it's the part with razor wire surrounding it, guard turrets at the corners (staffed by guys who look link they have *no* sense of humour), etc. I was strictly enjoined not to even think of wandering in that direction when I was working on a contract in the main part of the labs. I believe that part also contains the production line for plutonium warheads, and a significant quantity of the world's supply of weapons-grade plutonium can be found behind that fence. Even before 9/11 it was extremely well guarded - I suspect security is even tougher now.
