No. Among other things, there are no stairs; maintenance personnel must climb a 40-foot ladder to access it.
Visitors have not been allowed in the area for almost a hundred years (since July 30, 1916). People who think they've been there since then are probably confusing it with the crown, which is currently open (sort of... there are restrictions, and the number of people allowed to visit is limited to 10 at a time; the tour is about 20 minutes long).
You can, however, get fairly close to the original torch, which is in the museum.
