IRRADIATED PLAYGROUND: THE GEORGIA NUCLEAR AIRCRAFT LABORATORY AND THE LEGACY OF THE UNITED STATES NUCLEAR PROJECT
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>The former Georgia Nuclear Aircraft Laboratory (GNAL) is a historic site located outside of Dawsonville, Georgia that is now engaged with as a place of exploration, learning, and an unofficial memorial to the past. Over the course of my research I utilized archival documents, photographs I took during site visits, and internet discussions to analyze the way that modern visitors interact with the site and complicate the perceptions of public memory and history.</p>
