Information Center (RIDIC) For 25 years, the Radiation Internal
Dose Information Center (RIDIC) has been dedicated to providing physicians,
as well as other nuclear medicine professionals, regulators, manufacturers,
and nuclear pharmacy workers with the most up-to-date information on
internal dose estimates and internal dosimetry techniques applied to
the practice of nuclear medicine.

Experiments The Office of Human Radiation Experiments, established
in March 1994, leads the Department of Energy's efforts to tell
the agency's Cold War story of radiation research using human subjects.
We have undertaken an intensive effort to identify and catalog relevant
historical documents from DOE's 3.2 million cubic feet of records
scattered across the country. Internet access to these resources
is a key part of making DOE more open and responsive to the American
public.
- Office of Human Radiation
Experiments, Final ReportThe final report of the committee contains
a historical perspective on the ethics of research using human subjects,
case studies of the particular experiments that were performed on
Americans during the period 1944-1974, an inquiry into the current
state of human subjects research and the policies governing it,
and the committee's findings and recommendations. Also included
are the reservations of committee member Jay Katz, who argues that
the recommendations of the committee do not fully address the problems
of human subjects research. Appended to the report is the executive
order that created the committee, and its charter, as well as glossaries
and a selected bibliography. A search feature allows the user to
find specific information within the report.

Death Index The Social Security Death Index (SSDI), provided by
Ancestry, Inc. a publisher of print and electronic products for the
genealogy market, is a searchable database of the Death Master File
(DMF) from the Social Security Administration (SSA). DMF "contains
over 50 million records created from SSA payment records." The
database can contain name, social security number, date of birth, date
of death, and last residence/lump sum payment information when available,
and can be searched on those criteria. Search help is available from
the home page. Note that this is not an index of everyone who has died
in the United States, but rather an index of people who had Social Security
Benefits when they died.
- Vital
Records Information State Index Amateur genealogists beginning their
searches through the vital records at the state or county level will
find useful resources on this web site. Organized by state and then
by county, these pages present instructions on how to make inquiries
concerning vital records. In addition to general guidelines on what
data to include in a request for birth, marital, and death records,
each state's page has addresses for both state and county records offices
and information about fees. All fifty states and several US possessions
are included. There are also links to other local and national genealogy
resources, as well as state and local historical societies, which can
often be a good source for genealogical information.

Shipments-- Nuclear Control Institute". The Nuclear Control Institute
has created a web site in response to a proposed standard for the shipment
of radioactive materials. This site presents two world maps showing both
sea and air routes that are planned or already in use for the shipment of
plutonium. A series of papers by NCI-affiliated scientists and observers
on the subject of radioactive materials shipments sets out the NCI position
against such shipments.
Also available are press releases and an archive of correspondence between
the NCI and the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA), the body charged with defining standards for such shipments.
