OCAS and ORAU personnel have continued to search for locations of AWE records and have found some in Atlanta, Georgia. Additional information on what type of information or for what sites were recovered will be available once the information is reviewed, indexed, and archived.

- Environmental Measurements Laboratory (EML)
New York, NY
November 2002
NIOSH and ORAU personnel visited the Environmental Measurements Laboratory (EML) in New York City. More than 40 boxes of records and data were reviewed and found to be necessary for AWE dose reconstruction. Currently, EML is becoming part of the Office of Homeland Security. Therefore, all of the records reviewed were transferred to the DOE Office of Worker Advocacy in Washington DC. OCAS and ORAU personnel coordinated with DOE to obtain copies of the records once the transfer was complete.

October 2002
OCAS requested that Fernald search their records database for any information for AWE sites. Fernald submitted the results of their search in November 2002.The search resulted in the identification of over 1,000 records. Each time a record was identified, a printout was generated identifying the type of record. These printouts are currently being reviewed by ORAU for use in dose reconstructions.
