Radioactive Fallout

OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY
Oak Ridge, Tennessee

There are two sources of records at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) relating to fallout from weapons testing.

One source is Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc., which presently handles records management for the Department of Energy at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Martin Marietta manages three DOE facilities in the Oak Ridge, Tennessee, area: the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant (K-25), and the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant.

The records managed by Martin Marietta (who replaced Union Carbide in 1984) contain health physics status reports on the above plants. They also include survey records of airborne radiation, and materials relating to instrument calibration. In the past, Martin Marietta has shipped records to the East Point, Georgia, Federal Records Center for storage (see page 71). The Records Officer can provide specific location information if access is required.

The second source of records at ORNL is the Oak Ridge Associated Universities which collected personal exposure records for the Manhattan Engineer District. The contact is helpful for locating records, but the collection itself does not warrant further investigation for the CIC.
