1962
ORINS' traveling exhibit program, which included the "Atoms for Peace" exhibits, ended in 1962 after more than five years in operation, but the high school demonstration program expanded.
Construction began on ORINS' 18,000-square-foot Technical Library Building. Today, this same facility is known as the Energy Building.
The one-millionth visitor was welcomed to the American Museum of Science and Energy, and the 50-millionth person visited the traveling exhibits.
In collaboration with the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), New York University, and a New York-based educational television company, ORINS Dr. Ralph Overman prepared a series of 12 programs on the basic scientific principles concerning radiation. "Understanding the Atom" was also used in high school and college science courses.
