RAD@SAFE PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS + NEVADA PROVING GROUNDS Symbol: BMM:CLD Thank you for your memorandum of February 18, 1953 re the sane subject with attached informative memos. This will confirm our telephone conversation of December 17, 1952 to the effect that spe@ial "Rad-Safe" physical examinations prior to undertaking work involving entry into "contaminated" areas are not considered essential or particularly useful by the Division of Biology and Medicines. ve note that lump sum, unit price or cost type contractors do not normally require pre-employment physical examinations for their personnel. We can find no valid reason for asking these contractors to deviate from their normal policies with respect to decontamination activities at Nevada Proving Grounds, so long as present radiation safety policies for Nevada Proving Grounds pertain, US DOE ARCHIVES 326 U.S. ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION Doe _H/STORIAN RG Collection AVAILABLE onee SOPY moor cCPyY AVAILA (bE: _//52 3564 Box Folder | #/ Bio MILITARY RESEARCH & APPA. tg cee ccne [eeenee ncn [encecern nee nee ceecns [pee tne eect cena eofue. eee 3 _£0-318 - of ‘Hyo3eee eee ee ee U, &.
