Atomic Advertising in the 20th and Early 21st Centuries : An exploration of cultural attitudes towards nuclear science and technology in advertising and packaging from 1910 to 2010.
Title:
Nuclear Safety Guide 1961
Date:
1961
Creator:
U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and Goodyear Atomic Corporation
Exhibit Label:
The first chapter is included in full to demonstrate the context and audience of this publication. The fact that the Goodyear logo appears on this publication means that an internal federal safety guide was a form of advertising for the Goodyear Company. Even if the original 1958 publication was labeled classified, having a corporate logo on an item that would be circulated among those who worked with radioactive materials means that the corporation represented was advertising its connection to the US Government and to the forefront of nuclear innovation, safety, and science.

Additionally, it should be noted that there was an incident in January of 1961 in Idaho at the National Reactor Testing Station that was rated a level 4 incident on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale. It is possible that the second printing of this guide (evidenced in the Errata) was in response to this incident where three operators died after a control rod was too far removed.
