In May 1995, the Office of the Surgeon General of the U.S. Army contacted the Institute of Medicine requesting that it consider studying the health and ethical implications of conducting military operations in low-level nuclear environments. This request was related to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's efforts to develop and standardize procedures and equipment for detection, measurement, removal, and disposal of low-level radioactivity. The Institute of Medicine included sufficient technical information in this interim report that it could stand alone.
