    Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada

    Here's some images from the National Atom Testing Museum in Las Vegas. Not that many people know about this place. I thought it was OK and worth a look the next time you're in the area. Most of the pix are only so-so (hand held the camera because I didn't want to use a tripod), but are fun to look at.

    This robot's been reused in many places and movies.

    I don't know the current status of that area. They're not testing anymore, but I don't know if the area itself is open to tourists - especially photographers.




    Yep, that's what the man said.




    Information on the naming of Nellis Air Force Base, too.




    A movie on how atomic power works.




    Not sure what this is saying (anyone speak Russian?)














    A family in a bomb shelter.
















    Geiger counters.




    They also had an Area 51 exhibit.

    Can't get inside the range unless you know someone in the right places. Trust me, overall it's not that exciting. You can get into Area 51 now I believe. I think there's a once year night time bike ride out there of all things.
