Forgot about the sensor thing my bad, wasn't trying to flame anyone but you kinda contradict yourself there. You (Vigil) says that the Reapers strip technology and resources yet how come that the bunker wasn't dismantled ant it's occupants killed? The Reapers obviously knew about it, and even if they assumed that the neutron purge killed everyone both in and out of the pods wouldn't they perform a final sweep?

And by evidence I meant if the planet wasn't destroyed outright with a meteor or an accelerator gun and since the Reapers weren't concerned about conserving the lives of the protheans (there is no prothean reaper, at least as far as we know) wouldn't they use biological/nuclear weapons (after they got what they wanted: indoctrinated slaves/info on other planets). And wouldn't that either leave scars that wouldn't heal or would change the atmosphere so much that the plant would become useless for colonization?
