Library of Congress - 1) nearly complete set of individually bound technical reports from the Manhattan Project including designators MDDC, ORO, ORNL, CF, NYO, LAMS, LANL, and LA. Located in the Adams Building, Science Reading Room, Technical Reports Section. This technical report series is listed in library catalog and need to request direct access to archive room. All reports in numerical series not available but collection is fairly complete with several thousand documents. Atomic Energy Commission, MDDC 1 (5/27/46) to MDDC 1779 (1948), Oak Ridge, TN and Atomic Energy Commission, AECD 1948 forward. 2) Abstracts of Declassified Documents, Jul 1947 to Jun 1948, contains reports MDDC 1-1779 (this is the predecessor to Nuclear Science Abstracts; call no. QC770.U637, v. 1 and 2, 1947-1948 to present), located in Science Reading Room Stacks. This is the bound series of reports MDDC 1948-1949 in about 80 volumes and complete Nuclear Science Abstracts (listed under call number QC770.U62, but not in on-line catalog). 3) MDDC - Manhattan District Declassification contains listing of declassified AEC documents 1948-1949. AECD - Atomic Energy Commission Documents, continues MDDC series from 1950 forward. 4) The Bibliography, Radiation Detection, First Ed., Jul 1949, Radiation Instruments Branch, Oak Ridge, declassified documents on radiation detection.
