http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/309412675

The Project Chariot Papers contain files of University of Alaska faculty members generated from the studies they performed for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.

Also included are the files on the project held by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation which was involved in the cleanup efforts on the site in 1993.
