Description

This report reviews lingering and emerging dangers at the largest NWC site, the Oak Ridge National Security Complex in Tennessee. The Oak Ridge site is both a high- value target for terrorist attack, a source of environmental contamination, and a potential public health threat. This report examines the nexus between environment, health and security at Oak Ridge, and discusses known and potential dangers in each of these areas.

This research was completed money allocated during Round 5 of the Citizens’ Monitoring and Technical Assessment Fund (MTA Fund). Clark University was named conservator of these works.
