SPOILERS AHOY!!!

The way to the DRF is not far from the Alien Thermal Plant entrance. You will have to go there to get the tablet to deactivate the forcefield in the DRF anyway. (Don't forget to scan it!) If you keep the ATP entrance to your right hand side, and go over the ridge in front of you, then down, the round crater that leads to the Active lava zone, where the Disease Research Facility is located, is there. Look between the ribs that form the sides of the crater for the entrance.

TL;DR, the Inactive Lava Zone is where the Alien Thermal plant is located, and is accessible from the Lost River. The Active Lava Zone is where you find the Disease Research Facility, and is accessed from the Inactive Lava Zone.
