May 09 Issue - Employee Monthly Magazine NotebookNew exhibit at Bradbury Science MuseumThe Bradbury Science Museum is hosting a traveling exhibit, The 1958 Mutual Defense Agreement. The historical exhibit was created by the British Atomic Weapons Establishment and marks the 50th anniversary of the agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom. A timeline of events, pictures, and artifacts tell the story of the diplomacy and collaboration between the United States and the United Kingdom from World War II and the Cold War to today. Visitors can learn about cold war tensions, espionage, and nuclear experiments. The exhibit is at the museum through June 30. The Bradbury Science Museum is located at 15th Street and Central Avenue in downtown Los Alamos. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday and Monday. Admission is free. For more information, call the museum at 667-4444. Occupational Medicine clinic changes hoursEffective April 6, Occupational Medicine will be closed to unscheduled visits from noon to 1 p.m. Clinic staff will be available at 667-0660 to answer questions, schedule clinic visits, and assist individuals. Find answers to questions about drinking water at LabA frequently asked questions page and a fact sheet about drinking water at the Laboratory is available online. The information is available at http://int.lanl.gov/environment/h2o/lanl_only/docs/BottledWaterFAQs_090417.pdf (internal only). The FAQ provides information on what Lab employees can do if they have concerns about other available sources of water in their building, how water coolers should be dispositioned, how to recycle plastic water bottles employees bring to work, and other information. The Laboratory’s water is supplied by Los Alamos County and it meets all state and federal drinking water regulations. Los Alamos County routinely monitors for constituents in the drinking water according to federal and state laws. Additionally, Los Alamos County publishes an annual water quality drinking report. Earlier this spring, the Lab reduced the contract it has for delivery of bottled water. Federal requirements state that an agency may not use appropriated funds for bottled water for employees where the public water supply is safe for drinking purposes. Buildings that don’t have a supply of drinking water aren’t affected and bottled water delivery will continue as usual. HSPD-12 badge appointmentsWorkers whose appointments for enrolling or activating their new HSPD-12 badges were canceled must reschedule for the next available date.
