...geodesic dome, a 78-ft.-high, aluminum, gold-anodized building based on the original design by Architect R. Buckminster Fuller, which resembles a giant, gilded armadillo shell and houses a kaleidoscope of scientific and technical exhibits. Across seven screens -which take up one-third of the interior wall space-flash keyed sets of color pictures of U.S. life (e.g., seven cities, seven college campuses, etc., accompanied by Russian commentary and musical score).

In a serious emergency (e.g., the failure of the refrigeration system) the entire stock of liquid hydrogen can be dumped through a pipe down a canyon and into a spherical tank. If all precautions fail, a hydrogen explosion...
