Chapter 2, The Work of the NTPR Teams, highlights the NTPR efforts of the four military service teams and a separate team at DNA’s Field Command in Albuquerque, New Mexico. While DNA directs the NTPR program, the five teams execute the assigned tasks. This chapter identifies the resources available to each team, in terms of both personnel and funds, and itemizes the results, including statistics on the assignment of doses and the notification of personnel concerning available medical examination programs. Chapter 3, The NITPR Program, the Department of Energy, and the Veterans Administration, discusses the efforts of two Federal agencies that do not have NTPR organizations but make important contributions to the program, nonetheless. A Department of Energy (DOE) contractor, Reynolds Electrical & Engineering Company (REECo) of Las Vegas, Nevada, developed and maintains the official master file of dose records for the atmospheric nuclear weapons tests. DOE also established and administers the Coordination and Information Center (CIC), a public archives in Las Vegas housing 125,000 declassified documents pertinent to U.S. nuclear weapons testing. The Veterans Admin- ' istration (VA) gives complete medical examinations upon request to veterans exposed to ionizing radiation during the nuclear tests or the U.S. occupation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It also provides health services and compensation benefits to veterans if they meet the specified criteria identified in chapter 3. The most extensive part of the volume, with 21 sections, is Chapter 4, U.S. Nuclear Testing from Project TRINITY to the PLOWSHARE Program. This chapter surveys the test series from 1945 to the end of U.S. atmospheric nuclear testing, which came with the last Pacific test on 4 November 1962. The narrative delineates the background, purpose, and operations for each series, and it provides a summary of doses according to Service participation. Chapter 5, Radiation Safety at the Atmospheric Nuclear Tests, is a companion to chapter 4. It discusses radiation safety at the nuclear tests, concentrating primarily on protective measures against exposure to initial and residual radiation and personnel contamination. The chapter identifies radiation detection/measurement instruments used for survey and/or personnel monitoring. It also indicates protective methods taken against internal doses that could result from the inhalation or ingestion of radioactive material.
