atomic tourism

Behind the push for preservation is a growing interest in atomic tourism.

Atomic tourism is not for everyone.

The site is still a popular destination for those interested in atomic tourism, though it is only open to the public twice a year during open houses, on the first Saturdays of April and October.

Atomic tourism is a relatively new type of tourism in which visitors learn about the Atomic Age by traveling to significant sites in atomic history such as museums with atomic weapons, vehicles that carried atomic weapons or sites where atomic weapons were detonated.

To the Editor: If you lack time for the atomic tourism described in "Strange Love" (Jan. 5), you can use Google to see satellite photos of decommissioned B-52s at the Boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson.
