Navy Yard, Washington, D.C.
Both classified and unclassified information on fallout and radio-logical safety is housed in two files at the Naval Historical Center--the Post 1 January 1946 Report File and the Command File Post 1 January 1946 Joint Commands papers, both of which cover the dates January 1, 1946-December 31, 1973. The center also has approximately one cubic foot of unclassified reports from the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA). These reports are copies of the monographs DNA produced relating to each of the nuclear tests conducted in the 1940s and 1950s. The DNA reports are also available through that institution. The public has access to unclassified material by advance special arrangement with the center.
