The Federal Records Center in Seattle holds a large volume of files transferred from the Department of Energy's Richland Field Office. Through use of the Richland index it was possible to identify 36 boxes related to fallout. Most of the boxes had been retired by the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) (see page 26). A smaller number had been retired by PNL's predecessor, the Hanford Laboratories, operated for the Atomic Energy Commission by the General Electric Company. All finding aids and indexes for these collections are in Richland; the records center in Seattle has a limited selection of finding aids. Investigators must secure written permission of the Department of Energy.
