Mallinckrodt Chemical Works for the U.S. government under secret contract. To date, there has been no comprehensive study of the secret contracting effort that made Mallinckrodt Chemical Works one of the most important contributors to the atomic bomb project, nor has there been an adequate discussion of the long-term consequences of this atomic program on the health and environment of the community.
