U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Division of Biology and Medicine Project Sunshine reports, 1953-1956.
Copies of 3 formerly classified reports from Project Sunshine regarding experimental data on the effects of atomic radiation fallout on life, including the food supply, soil, water and the atmosphere. The reports were prepared by the Rand Corporation under contract with the U.S.A.E.C.
The United States Atomic Energy Commission was established in 1946 to put atomic energy research and development under civilian control. It took over most of the personnel from the Manhattan Engineer District when it was dissolved in 1949. The commission was abolished in 1974 and its functions transferred to the Energy Research and Development Administration, the Federal Energy Administration, and the Federal Power Commission.
