NEW FRIDAY JULY 15: 10:30 AM to 1:30 AM. Tour of the Atomic Testing Museum.

This museum is associated with the Smithsonian Institution.

MONDAY JULY 18: Bus transportation will be provided to the Nevada Test Site, 65 miles north of Las Vegas, scene of the testing of nuclear weapons and also of civil defense measures. The Site is still involved in Department of Energy projects such as stockpile stewardship, waste management, crisis management, radiologic monitoring, and nondefense research. Very little walking is required. The bus will leave at 7 AM and return at 4 PM. You will need to provide full name, including middle initial, date and place of birth, home address, Social Security number, and citizenship for admission to the Site before July 5 for U.S. citizens.
