research, development, and use of various forms of nuclear energy.
Historical and other traveling exhibits are also displayed in this
area. Also found in the low bay is the museum's store, which is
operated by the museum's foundation.

Adjacent to the low bay is the theater. The featured film is David
Wolpers classic 1963 production, Ten Seconds That Shook The World.
This excellent film is a 53-minute documentary on the Manhattan
Project. Other films relating to the history of the Atomic Age are
available for viewing and checkout from the library.

Next to the theater is the library/Department of Energy public reading
room, containing government documents that are available to the public
for in-library research. The library also has many nuclear related
books available for reference and checkout.

Located around the outside of the museum are a number of large
exhibits. These include the Boeing B-52B jet bomber that dropped the
United States' last air burst H-bomb in 1962, and a 280-mm (11 inches)
Atomic cannon, once America's most powerful field artillery. Also
found in this area is a Navy TA-7C (a modified A-7B) Corsair II
fighter-bomber, a veteran of the Vietnam War. Many other nuclear
weapons systems, rockets, and missiles are found in this area.

In front of the museum are a pair of Navy Terrier missiles. The
Terrier was the Navy's first operational surface to air missile. To
the south of the museum, next to the visitors parking lot, is a
Republic F-105D Thunderchief fighter-bomber. Further south is a World
War II Boeing B-29 Superfortress. This plane is similar to the B-
29's, Enola Gay and Bockscar that dropped the Atomic bombs on Japan.
