DESCRIPTION 
This subseries contains materials assembled by Austin Brues during his tenure as 
director of the Argonne Biology Division and its successors, while he was a staff 
member of those divisions, as Medical Director of the Center for Human Radiobiology, 
and after his retirement. The subseries documents Brues's professional medical 
research interests and activities. It has material on the state of knowledge about the 
health effects of radiation and some material on the hazards of beryllium and plutonium. 
These records were maintained by Austin Brues and were incorporated into the 
collection of the Center for Human Radiobiology in the late 1980s and early 1990s 
because they document the activities of the early Argonne Laboratory and of the 
Center for Human Radiobiology. The subseries contains letters, memorandums, 
reports, professional papers, published articles, news clippings, graphics, and charts. 
It also includes correspondence with private physicians and with Manhattan Engineer 
District and Atomic Energy Commission officials. (See Miscellaneous Austin Brues 
Material.)
