Extractions: Where Knowledge Rules Search of 1 Write now Article Tools The National Atomic Museum is a truely unique museum that provides both the basics and details on the history of the evolution of our understanding of radioactive energy and its uses - peaceful and for defense. The museum is moving and growing starting with a new name: The National Museum of Nuclear Science and History. It is located at 601 Eubank Avenue NE, Albuquerque, NM and will re-open on April 4, 2009. You can't miss it - look for the Redstone missile on Eubank, the Terrier missiles on the corner and the large model of a Beryllium atom above the entrance! For those that visited the museum when it was still on Kirtland Air Force Base prior to 9-11-2001, you will see all of the outside exhibits - the B-29, the B-52, the Atomic Cannon, the Minuteman, and the Titan to name a few as well as some new ones such as a nuclear submarine sail. Inside the museum, look for the Periodic Table of Elements on the floor of the entryway. Many of the elements are dedicated to scientists and soldiers from the nuclear era and their accomplishments. Beyond that, the museum layout leads you to several thought provoking paths. In one direction, the visitor is given a primer on nuclear science going back to the time of the earliest scientists and philosphers and continuing to the advent of the harnessing of nuclear energy. The history of the pioneering works of Madame Curie in the nuclear science field is a prominent feature.

Extractions: October 11-12 The Third annual "Nuclear Pioneers" event focusing on the Cuban Missile Crisis. This year, the Museum's annual historical program series will examine this incredibly troubling time in world history. In the Fall of 1962, it is said that the world was never closer to nuclear war. During this Museum event specially selected individuals will share anecdotal accounts of their experiences during the days of the Missile Crisis. This annual event draws interest from national media, historians and film producers. The National Atomic Museum's large collection of nuclear weapons and weapon delivery systems includes those that were part of America's nuclear arsenal during the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The United States of America The Crisis and its very real threat of an all-out nuclear war brought America's Civil Defense preparedness to a new level. Items typical of those found in Civil Defense and private shelters across the country are on exhibit in the Museum. The Museum collection includes Civil Defense communication equipment, metering and testing materials, booklets for advising the public in construction of shelter. In addition there are "Survival Packs", hand-operated and bicycle operated blower and air circulation equipment, foodstuffs and medical supplies. A unique feature is a Soviet pamphlet advising Russian citizens on preparing for attack and building an underground shelter.

Extractions: Thursday, January 20, 1994 A hydrogen bomb was accidentally dropped from a plane just south of Kirtland Air Force Base in 1957 By LES ADLER , Special to The Tribune At 11:50 a.m. on May 22, 1957, I was a 15-year-old sophomore at Highland High School in Albuquerque when the city and a good portion of the surrounding region were nearly obliterated by the accidental detonation of a 10-megaton hydrogen bomb dropped on the outskirts of Kirtland Air Force Base. First reported to the public in 1986, this early "broken arrow," as such accidents were referred to in military jargon, became as much a historical "non-event" during the intervening Cold War decades as the recently exposed atmospheric radioactivity showers and radiation experiments. Like these tests, it, too, was a product of what Sen. John Glenn has called "the Cold War frenzy which gripped our nation." Those of us living in the region had long known, and, indeed, were strangely proud of the fact, that Albuquerque was likely to be a major enemy military target due to the region's role in the production, testing and storage of atomic and hydrogen weaponry. Nearby Sandia Base, nestled in the foothills of the Manzano Mountains, was widely suspected of housing extensive underground storage facilities where much of the nation's nuclear arsenal was guarded. Electrified, barbed-wire double fences, patrolled by guard dogs, were clearly visible from the highway as one entered or left Albuquerque through Tijeras Canyon to the east. Sixty miles to the northwest, the heavily guarded Atomic City of Los Alamos, creation site of the first atomic bombs and then, as now, a major national arms production laboratory, guaranteed our supremacy as a prime Soviet target.
