MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD SUBJECT: Review of Health Physics Division Classified Reference 1. Reference memorandum, HSHB-CE, PAO, 7 February 1994, subject: 2 . On 15 February 1994, CPT Robert Friedman and M r . David Alberth, Health Physics Division, reviewed the Health Physics Division's classified reference files in the security safe located in the USAEHA Security Office. This review served two a. To perform the annual review of the Health Physics Division's classified materials for purposes of security downgrading, retention, or destruction. b. To determine if any of the classified files contained information on research involving radiation exposure of human subjects from 1944 to 1974. 3 . The classified files contained information related to INRAD specific radiation incidents, and USAEKA special radiation protection studies. Based upon guidance from the Joint DOD/DOE Nuclear Weapons Radiation Protection Study Group, none of the INRAD files can be downgraded at this time and all INRAD files were recommended for retention. The files on specific radiation incidents and special radiation protection studies were recommended for retention based on their historical value as potential reference material for base closure and environmental *c- studies (individual CNWDI security access required to review), 4 . Two files were not Health Physics Division property and were given to the Security Manager for disposition.
