Dozens of other exhibits and electronic devices, many operated by the spectator, are available to Museum visitors. They include a cutaway model of the nuclear cargo ship “Savannah,” a cloud chamber illustrating the use in physics research of vapor trails such as those left by jet planes, a hall of fame for scientists, visitor-operated tests of materials for radio-activity, the workings of a uranium mine, and devices equipped with earphones and tape recordings describing atomic structure.

Most Museum visitors bring home a dime they placed in a device which briefly exposes their coin to neutrons and makes it slightly radioactive. The dime, which almost immediately loses all measurable radioactivity, is placed in a plastic case as a souvenir of the Atomic City.
