This collection of transparencies was used by representatives of the Atomic Energy Commission (A.E.C.) during a presentation before the Alaska House State Affairs Committee, April 4, 1970, in Juneau. At the time of the presentation, the A.E.C. was planning a second underground nuclear test on Amchitka Island in 1971, code-named CANNIKIN. Testimony was heard from several groups against a second test as well as adverse testimony about the first test which took place in October, 1969 and was code n...

In 1946 the laboratory came under the administration of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. It was charged with evaluating the hazards of radiation in and around water, and its main effort was assessing the effect of the Hanford Nuclear Site on the Columbia River. In 1946 the lab began studying the biological effects of nuclear weapons tested at the E...
