Radioactive Fallout

PACIFIC NORTHWEST LABORATORY
Richland, Washington

The Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL), operated by the Battelle Memorial Institute, retains very few records related to fallout. Most of the laboratory's records on the subject had previously been transferred to the DOE Richland Field Office or to the Federal Records Center in Seattle.

The PNL technical library does hold some reports on fallout. The Division of Physical Sciences has raw data on routine fallout measurements since 1961, but most of these data have been published. The Occupational and Environmental Protection Department has a computerized inventory of more than 40,000 air sampling measurements made in the Richland area since 1957.
