Washington, D.C.

During the early 1950s and 1960s the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) made extensive surveys of radioactive fallout patterns from around the world. As a part of this program WRAIR monitored and assessed whole body doses. Walter Reed has reported results of its whole body counter operations in the Institute's annual reports for 1955 through 1961. These reports are housed in the Institute's library. According to Walter Reed, the actual records of the whole body doses were not kept once they were put into the annual reports. Copies of all annual reports have been deposited in the Defense Technical Information Center.
