Description: The primary purpose of the Los Alamos Historical Document Retrieval and Assessment (LAHDRA) project is to identify the information that is available concerning releases of radionuclides and chemicals from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Sited in northern New Mexico and owned by the Department of Energy, LANL has been managed by the University of California since 1943, when the laboratory was born as part of the Manhattan Project to create the first atomic weapons. LANL's responsibilities have expanded since then to include thermonuclear weapon design, high explosives and ordnance development and testing, weapons safety, nuclear reactor research, waste disposal or incineration, chemistry, criticality experimentation, tritium handling, biophysics, and radiobiology.
