Innovative Science for Chemical and Biological Defense
An overview of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Chemical and Biological Technologies Department (DTRA CB), the United States’ epicenter for chemical and biological technical expertise. DTRA CB provides cutting edge technology solutions to reduce the threat from weapons of mass destruction and empower warfighters to achieve their missions in a chemical, biological or radiological environment. DTRA CB also functions as the Joint Science and Technology Office for Chemical and Biological Defense under the Department of Defense Chemical and Biological Defense Program.
A Review of the Dose Reconstruction Program of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency
From 1945 through 1962, the US atmospheric nuclear weapons testing program involved hundreds of thousands of military and civilian personnel, and some of them were exposed to ionizing radiation. Veterans' groups have since been concerned that their members' health was affected by radiation exposure associated with participation in nuclear tests and have pressured Congress for disability compensation. Several pieces of legislation have been passed to compensate both military and civilian personnel for such health effects. Veterans' concerns about the accuracy of reconstructed doses prompted Congress to have the General Accounting Office (GAO) review the dose reconstruction program used to est...
Defense's Nuclear Agency 1947-1997 (DTRA History Series)
This official history was originally printed in very small numbers in 2002. "Defense's Nuclear Agency, 1947-1997" traces the development of the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project (AFSWP), and its descendant government organizations, from its original founding in 1947 to 1997. After the disestablishment of the Manhattan Engineering District (MED) in 1947, AFSWP was formed to provide military training in nuclear weapons' operations. Over the years, its sequential descendant organizations have been the Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA) from 1959 to 1971, the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) from 1971 to 1996, and the Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) from 1996 to 1998. In 1998, DSWA, the On-Site Inspection Agency, the Defense Technology Security Administration, and selected elements of the Office of Secretary of Defense were combined to form the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
