Description:
This historic 1950 image, provided by the Center for Disease Control's (CDC), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), depicted two white-coated technicians, who were in the process of conducting radioactive experiments within the confines of a concrete cell, located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Not knowing the subject of the experimentation, the danger level was high enough to warrant the execution from behind protected walls, in order to avoid radioactive contamination. Without knowing the level of potential contamination produced and possibly expelled from the concrete cell, wearing only a white coat, may or may not have been what today would be deemed adequate protection against contamination.
