Abstract
In March 1967, at the suggestion of the Director of Defense Research and Engineering, the Atomic Energy Commission requested the National Academy of Sciences to review and update the Project Harbor Study on Civil Defense. The Harbor Study was sponsored by the Office of Civil Defense and carried out under the auspices of the National Academy of Sciences in the summer of 1963. About 60 scientists (both natural and behavioral) and engineers participated in the six-week study. The final report came to over 600 typewritten pages; its distribution was very limited. A summary report, NAS-1237, was issued in 1964 and had a wider distribution.
