Scientific and technical reports on nuclear testing from 1945 to the present comprise 135 feet of the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) Technical Library. Approximately 100 feet of these records are fallout studies of the DNA Biomedical Effects Unit. The collection is not open to the general public, but special arrangements to see some documents may be worked out through the DNA public affairs officer. Many of these reports have been sent to the CIC as a result of the Nuclear Test Personnel Review project. For additional DNA records, please see sections on the National Archives and the Federal Records Centers. DNA also publishes a guide to archival collections, with special emphasis on military personnel exposures to radioactive fallout.
