| Outline of Research at the Start |
The project will involve archival research at multiple sites inside the United States. I will also conduct oral history interviews with people living near primary nuclear sites like Hanford, Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, Savannah River and the Nevada Test Site. Further research will be conducted in the archives of the American Cancer Society.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During this last year I conducted field research at multiple sites affected by radiation inside the United States, and also conducted extensive archival research at multiple archives at universities and government institutions. I also met with experts on issues related to my research field.
|
| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
My research documents how nuclear weaponry and technology has caused harm to American citizens. This harm comes in the form of sickness and early mortality, as well as the long-term contamination of multiple sites across the country.
