ARAŞTIRMA DOSYALARI

ARAŞTIRMA DOSYASI : Summaries of Nuclear Weapon and Material Accidents – Department of Energy – National Nuclear Security Administration


Background


While
sifting through thousands of different pages of documents, I found references
to some previously, never-before-released (that I saw) documents about nuclear
accidents.


I have
always been fascinated by the topic, ever since I saw the 1996 film Broken
Arrow.  Yes, I know, a bit cheesy, but I was 15 when it came out – and I
was just about to start The Black Vault. I was fascinated to learn, that Broken
Arrow was a real term, and in fact, nuclear accidents have plagued American
history. So,  when I saw these documents existed, I had to get them!


It took
quite a few years – and my FOIA requests bounced around from a few offices. I
had to refile to the NNSA in 2015, and in September of 2016, finally received
them, declassified.
