The following reports concerning the Pacific Proving Grounds, the Bravo
Test and the subsequent events are in the public domain. . Those referenced
are placed first.
The bibliography ~nder Published Reports and Articles in Medical Journals
below is not complete. Papers have been omitted which dealt with the
development of techniques used in the laboratory or have reported some aspect
of the study which has a limited or specific scientific interest. Also
omitted are reprints of speeches made by members of the teams at various
times and places. On the other hand the reluctance of editors or biomedical
journals to publish bulk data has caused Dr. Conard to record summarized
versions of the bulk data of a survey Gr grm~~ of surveys as Brookhaven
National Laboratory reports. These can be used as source books and in fact have
been so used by agencies such as the United Nations. Subjects of special
interest to medicine and radiation biology have been developed from the data
in these source books and published in the journals and proceedings referenced.
