EXPERIENCE EXPLOSIVE HISTORYAT NATM
My family and I recently visited the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas … and we had a blast! The National Atomic Testing Museum (NATM) is a national science, history and educational institution that tells the story of America’s nuclear weapons testing program at the Nevada Test Site. NATM is one of a handful of private national museums and showcases some of the rarest of artifacts relating to the nation’s atomic testing program. Nowhere else can you see a large nuclear reactor that was used in the development of the nuclear rocket and the first air-to-air missile, Genie. Personal atomic weapons that were developed to use in place of conventional weapons such as the Backpack Nuke and the Davy Crockett Weapon System (recoil-less gun) are placed throughout 8,000 square feet of museum exhibits.
NATM visitors will:
Learn about world events leading up to the establishment of the Nevada Test Site.
Learn about the progression of the test site from above-ground tests to underground tests and non-nuclear activities. See a replica of the Control Point where the countdown was conducted before each nuclear detonation.
Experience a Ground Zero Theater simulation of an above-ground test.
Reflect on the history of atomic testing and its relevance to national security and international stability.
Check it out; I highly recommend it!
