Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that an Albuquerque museum will benefit from a $738,770 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.

Funding was awarded to the National Atomic Museum Foundation and will be used for the development and construction of the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History – currently the National Atomic Museum.

"The National Atomic Museum offers visitors the opportunity to learn about the Atomic Age and its effects on the world we live in today.  This funding will be a great benefit to the museum and its visitors," Bingaman.
