LETTER FROM OUR SPONSOR

LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR Staying connected, telling stories, building long-lasting relationships.

Museums, like many community institutions, struggle to remain connected to those who value and treasure them. Much like an alumni association at a college or university, the Museum wants to cultivate relationships that remain true, strong and often life-long.

We find that the mission of the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History harvests long-term and connected interest. Maybe it is social justice, historic preservation, aviation history, anthropology, physics or military service that sets the stage for the extended love affair between a person and the Museum.

I suspect it is many of these things, in fact, it may be many more. These interest factors are embodied in the many brief but poignant statements found in the periodic table embedded so beautifully in our Museum’s lobby floor. These statements, persons remembered, acts of discovery or bravery honored, are in fact the very breath of the connections we have.

To honor and keep these connections alive, and to remember why each person or family felt the story valuable, we are undertaking a project to retain and present them.

This summer, two very dedicated interns - history students Ms. Ranah Yaqub from Lehigh University and Ms. Casey Dowling from The University of New Mexico - worked together to plan a communication to those donors who sponsored a tile in the Museum’s periodic table. If we are successful in renewing this invaluable connection, we will work to obtain the stories behind these dedications and memories and share these special reflections to audiences in the Museum. Through this initiative, we hope to help visitors understand and appreciate these donors and the stories under their feet. (continued on pg. 4)

LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR (Continued) These stories will be easily accessed through a To all of our wonderful donors, thank you. It is touch-screen computer program on the “touch through your generosity that we thrive. Please table” exhibit located in the “Pioneers of the watch for communication regarding this exciting Atom” exhibit. Our visitors will be able to touch an project, and please consider sharing your story element on the screen, and not only learn about and help us strengthen our relationships. its physical characteristics, but they will also learn about the family or person who sponsored that Sincerely, Sincerely, element and the story of the dedication statement.

Through the process of making this a reality, we hope to also renew and ensure life-long interest and connections between the Museum and ourJim Walther, Museum Director Jim Walther, Museum Director donors.

UPCOMING SPECIAL EXHIBITS The Museum will host two very special temporary exhibitions in the fall of 2014. Visitors will be transported to a pivotal time in medical history in the exhibit, “Dr. Saul Hertz and the Origin of Nuclear Medicine,” and STEaM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) will come to life in an art exhibit displaying photographs from individuals from all over the world.

“Dr. Saul Hertz and the Origin of Nuclear Medicine” will celebrate Dr. Hertz, a founding father of Nuclear Medicine and will be on display September 13 through October 12, 2014.

UPCOMING SPECIAL EXHIBITS from 1931 to 1943 - and his colleagues studied thyroid physiology in the 1930s. Before WWII, these medical pioneers began the first nonsurgical treatment of hyperthyroidism with radioiodine, and the specialty of Nuclear Medicine was born.

Dr. Hertz’s use of radioactive iodine as a tracer in the diagnostic process, as a treatment for Grave’s disease and in the treatment of cancer of the thyroid, remains the preferred practices.

The “Dr. Saul Hertz and the Origin of Nuclear Medicine” exhibit will include vivid images, vintage newspaper articles, historical letters detailing this medical revelation- and much more - to provide an in-depth look at the work of a Jewish doctor whose medical discovery transformed the world of medicine during an extremely challenging time of racism, fear of nuclear medical applications and economic pressures.

This exhibit will be the first initiative in the revitalization of the Museum’s permanent Nuclear Medicine Exhibit. Currently housing such artifacts as the first gamma camera used on human beings, the Museum’s Board of Trustees and staff hope to expand this exhibition focusing on nuclear medicine while also solidifying it as a source of pride for our local medical community.

The Museum will host a Members-only Reception on Friday, September 12, to officially introduce this exhibit to members. This event, free to Museum members, will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

Quickly after the nuclear medicine exhibit comes to a close, the Museum will open the “Atomic STEaM Photography Show,” on display November 8, 2014, through January 4, 2015.

This incredibly unique collection of STEaM photography was acquired through a juried competition where individuals from all over the world shared their photographic talent and eye for everything that is science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. A select number of photographs were chosen, and the winning entries will be on display in the Museum for visitors to experience how different individuals see and interpret STEaM. With the categories of STEaM being allencompassing, the photos may range from the literal engineering feats of the Great Wall of China and the Great Pyramid of Giza, to the abstract interpretation of science as seen through a plant experiencing photosynthesis. It is sure to be an intriguing and insightful exhibit that will be enjoyed by visitors of all ages.

The Museum will host a Members-only Reception on Friday, November 7, to officially introduce this exhibit to members. This event, free to Museum members, will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

Both special exhibitions are included in the price of admission to the Museum.

OBJECT AT HAND: F-16 FIGHTING FALCON “VIPER” The F-16 is a single engine, multirole, lightweight fighter originally developed by General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) for the United States Air Force (USAF). The initial concept for a Lightweight Fighter (LWF) dates back to the early 1960s.

Colonel John Boyd, along with Defense Analyst Thomas Christie, developed a mathematical model calling for a lightweight aircraft that could maneuver with the minimum possible energy loss, and which also incorporated an increased thrust to weight ratio.

aircraft. This aircraft will be exhibited as a New Mexico Air Guard Aircraft. It will stand as a tribute to all the men and women who have and are serving their country and state as members of the New Mexico Air Guard, “The Tacos.”

Through the tireless efforts of Project Manager Jerry Hanks and many others, this aircraft will serve to educate and inform visitors as to the importance of the F-16 and the men and women who flew them. The aircraft is currently on exhibit in Heritage Park.

Funding for the LWF project was secured. Several companies were invited to enter their prototypes in a fly-off competition that took place in 1972. The winner would receive the contract to supply the USAF with their LWF. Five companies responded to the invitation. It eventually came down to the YF-16 developed by General Dynamics and Northrup’s YF-17.

While both aircraft performed brilliantly, the winner was the YF-16. The YF-17 would go on to become the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet used by the United States Navy. The Air Force’s F-16 achieved combat ready status in October 1980.

The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History has added an F-16 to its growing collection of

AN EXCEPTIONAL PARTNERSHIP The summer of 2014 was a time of great change and restoration for the Museum. Through strong partnerships, many daunting tasks were undertaken to bring the Museum one step closer to completing Operation Preservation, the campaign to restore the planes in Heritage Park.

Specifically, the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History partnered with CNM Community College’s Aviation Maintenance Technology (AVMT) program and their Service-Learning Program to restore the Museum’s newly acquired F-16 Fighting Falcon. CNM students worked long hours during the summer months to properly restore this iconic aircraft to its former grandeur.

Students in the AVMT program made major and minor repairs to the F-16, under the guidance of David Ortiz and Jeremy Frick, CNM AVMT Instructors, and Jerry Hanks, Museum F-16 Project Manager. Students removed the aircraft’s panels to have them repaired or replaced, fabricated repair patches for larger damaged areas and removed and replaced damaged fasteners.

“Restoration of this iconic aircraft is a substantial undertaking, and we are honored to partner with CNM to provide students with such a unique opportunity to learn through hands-on service,” said Jim Walther, Museum Director.

By participating in Service-Learning, students met specific academic objectives while providing a much-needed service to the Albuquerque community. They ‘serve-to-learn’ about course objectives, and through reflection, they relate their service to academic course content. Students completing the Service-Learning program will receive academic credit from their instructors along with a certificate from the Service-Learning Program and acknowledgment by the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History.

Completion of this outdoor exhibit for visitor viewing will possibly take place this fall.

Contributions to the F-16 “TACOS” restoration can be made online at nuclearmuseum.org under “Support the Museum.”

NUCLEAR SCIENCE WEEK AT THE MUSEUM Everyone at the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History is looking forward to celebrating the 5th Annual National Nuclear Science Week, October 21-24, 2014. This outstanding week-long event will be celebrated with 200 school students visiting the Museum each day of the week. Middle school students and their teachers will engage in hands-on activities ranging from calculating their annual radiation dose and modeling each type of radiation, to sorting “radioactive” waste and more. Lockheed Martin/Sandia National Laboratories and Albert I. Pierce Foundation sponsor the week’s events.

NATIONAL NUCLEAR SCIENCE WEEK

This year, the Museum education team is also looking forward to welcoming several school groups back to the Museum after the conclusion of the 2014 National Nuclear Science Week for follow up activities. These activities will include a history tour of the Museum as well as a program using the American Nuclear Society’s “Isotope Discovery Kit.” This very special kit is a new tool to engage students in learning the Chart of the Nuclides. Thanks to the generous donations of Dee Ellett and Jeff Mahn, the Museum has been able to purchase this unique teaching tool and will be able to bring students to the Museum to experience this activity.

AN EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS! The Education team at the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History has had another successful year of “Science is Everywhere” Summer Camps. It is thrilling to say this was the 17th year of camp operations!

and January 2. New camps such as “Spy Camp,” “Movie Magic” and “Fire & Ice” will be introduced as well as several camp favorites.

VOLUNTEERS HONORED AT ANNUAL SUMMER PICNIC Each summer it is the Museum staff’s distinct pleasure to plan and host the Museum’s Summer Volunteer Picnic. This event is always well attended and a highlight of the summer. It is a time to gather —volunteers and staff together — and enjoy an evening of good company, good food and fun entertainment.

The Summer Picnic is one opportunity for staff and volunteers to spend a little time socializing as a team, and to say “Thank You.” The Summer Picnic was held on Thursday, July 10th, at Isotopes Park. Volunteers were treated to a traditional “ball park” meal before the game, and then the group sat together and cheered for the home team. The weather, though questionable at first, turned out to be beautiful. And although the Isotopes fell to the El Paso Chihuahuas, it was an entertaining game and definitely a good time!

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: CAMP VOLUNTEERS This year we are pleased to have another outstanding group of student volunteers. These volunteers dedicate one or more weeks to volunteer service at the Museum, contributing 40 hours each week. They make camp a fun and exciting for the campers, and they are a BIG help to the counselors and the instructors. Please join the Museum staff in a round of applause for the 2014 Camp Volunteers!

Summer at the Museum means an influx of visitors. It also means an influx of volunteers. The Museum’s student volunteers, ranging in age from 14 to 18, are a vital part of our “Science is Everywhere” Summer Camp program. Each year the Museum accepts approximately 35 student volunteers to assist in our camp classrooms.

The Summer Camp volunteer program has grown in popularity over the past 3 years. The popularity of the program is due to the strong camp programming. Many volunteers are former campers who enjoyed camp so much, they choose to come and volunteer as a teen.

Those volunteers who haven’t “camped” with the Museum before are interested in science, and they enjoy camp so much that they often volunteer several weeks and even come back to volunteer from year to year.

OUR INSTRUMENTAL SUMMER VOLUNTEERS The Museum staff is thrilled to see a great amount of progress on some large-scale projects in Heritage Park. Thanks to Project Leaders Jerry Hanks (Volunteer), Frank Fernando (Staff) and Toby Williams (Staff) for their time and efforts to coordinate work on three projects: The F-16 Installation, the USS James K. Polk (SSBN 645) Subsail installation and the MACE Mission Restoration.

These projects would not have been possible without the commitment and efforts of some of our most dedicated volunteers. Huge kudos should be given to Larry Costin, Jeff Mahn, Terry Leighley and Tom St. Aubin for their expertise and the gift of their time.

Additionally, this summer the Museum was able to complete the installation of the Honest John Launcher exhibit. The installation required moving the Launcher into position. This would not have been possible without Duane Hughes, Tom St. Aubin and Gary Stone who spent several weeks working together to resurrect the operation of the launcher after it had sat idle for three years.

This included researching the operations of the equipment, troubleshooting the engine and battery and eventually moving and relocating the equipment.

To these amazing volunteers, thank you!

LETTER FROM AN INTERN By Casey Dowling and Ranah Yaqub As students of history, Ranah and I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to intern at the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History this summer. I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of New Mexico majoring in history and geography, and Ranah is getting her masters in modern American history at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. We have had a very busy summer here at the Museum, and since we started in early June, we’ve met a lot of interesting people, had some wonderful experiences and learned a megaton!

I was tasked specifically with creating a scavenger hunt activity for an upcoming exhibit called ‘Secrets and Spies’ that will go on display next year. I researched multiple spies who were involved with Soviet espionage during the Manhattan Project and beyond. Some of these spies include Ted Hall, Klaus Fuchs and the infamous Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. With this activity, visitors will pretend to be FBI agents from the 1950s and solve the case of each spy as they make their way through the exhibit.

Ranah worked on two main projects—she aided in the restoration of the MACE Cruise Missile and the B-52 Bomber and created a training module to teach volunteers about the Manhattan Project. After doing a great deal of research about the dynamic race to build a nuclear bomb, she developed a module that will explain the Manhattan Project in depth to volunteer docents so that they will be able to give informed and interesting tours.

Together we began to collect data about the dedications inscribed on each element in the stone periodic table located in the Museum’s entrance. We have been contacting the donors who purchased each element in order to ascertain

the unique stories behind their dedications.

Eventually the stories we gather will be featured in an interactive periodic table, which will be programed into the touchscreen in the “Pioneers of the Atom” display.

Ranah and I have had a blast during our time at the Museum, and we can’t wait to see our projects come to fruition. After spending a summer researching, creating exhibit material, working on restoration projects and exploring the collections; we have realized how lucky we are to have been able to explore so many different aspects of a museum career. Most importantly, we are grateful for the unique experience that we could only get at the National Museum of Nuclear History and Science due to the extremely supportive and accommodating staff. We are so appreciative to have been able to have this once in a lifetime experience!

We have also recently welcomed Felicia Savage to the Museum’s education program and the staff is thrilled to work with a seasoned employee from the museum industry. Originally from Maryland, Felicia has a background in education and has shared her love for science at the Maryland Science Center for the past ten years.

Felicia recently moved from Maryland to begin working at the Museum and has been very taken with the new world of New Mexico.

“I love it here,” said Felicia. “The culture, the change of scenery - it is a wonderful new start.”

Felicia is sure to add a fascinating dynamic and point of view to our always evolving education department, as she thrives on the “learning process” and truly appreciates learning about complex science in order to interpret it through meaningful education programs.

Congratulations to both Kyan and Felicia!

Welcome to the Museum family.

A NEW LOOK FOR NUCLEAR SCIENCE WEEK As Nuclear Science Week (NSW) approaches its fifth year as a national, broadly observed weeklong celebration to focus local, regional and national interest on all aspects of nuclear science, a campaign has been launched to revitalize and re-brand NSW to help guarantee the most successful year yet.

Over the last five years, the national steering committee – headed by the Museum and consisting of individuals from such organizations as Nuclear Literacy Project, National Science Teachers Association, American Nuclear Society and the Nuclear Energy Institute – has built more and more momentum in providing teachers, students and citizens with direct access to nuclear technology and an opportunity to engage with nuclear experts.

As the 2014 Nuclear Science Week is just around the corner, taking place October 20-24, the Museum’s marketing department and Suzanne Hobbs Baker, Director of The Nuclear Literacy Project, are working to develop a completely new website for Nuclear Science Week as well as a new NSW logo.

“Nuclear Science Week is an exceptional event that provides a platform intended to build awareness of the contributions of the nuclear science industry and those who work in it every day,” said Jim Walther, Museum Director.

“Revitalization of the website and logo will help to not only inspire the public to ‘Get to Know Nuclear’, but it will help stimulate participation and generate communication - providing insight into the achievements of nuclear sciences.”

With the help of Evan Jenkins, Museum intern from the Southwest University of Visual Arts, the new nuclearscienceweek.org website will launch at the beginning of October, just weeks before the 2014 Nuclear Science Week event. Visit the website at that time, and get involved with getting to know nuclear!
