Series Description: This series contains information gathered in support of the Tatum Salt Dome Site Study. It focuses on the 21,000-22,000 people living in the vicinity of the Tatum Salt Dome near Lumberton, Mississippi. Originally undertaken by the state of Mississippi at the request of Senator Trent Lott, the study has been transferred to the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education. The records consist mainly of computer-generated reports for employees in the study, including individual name, sex, race, social security number, age at death, dates of birth and death, address while working, last known address, proximity to the site based on regional maps, place and county of death, hospital, and death certificate number. Reports are grouped separately for deceased and living individuals. The study is ongoing and the report is in review.
