The National Atomic Testing Museum next “Atomic Stories” event looks at the history the Nevada Test Site's Camp Desert Rock. A declassified United States nuclear test film, which looks the Army's Operation Desert Rock, will be shown. Following the screening, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a discussion with Marcus Brown, a museum docent and former Nevada Test Site Worker.

In 1951, the United States Army worked in conjunction with the Atomic Energy Commission to carry out an experiment to dispel much of the fear and uncertainty surrounding atomic radiation and the effects of gamma and x-rays. A tent encampment about 27 miles from the site of atomic tests housed about 5,000 Army soldiers, civilian observers and technicians.
