THE HIDDEN NUCLEAR WEAPONS COMPLEX

Recover the network behind the famous facilities.

The American nuclear weapons complex extended far beyond its best-known laboratories and production plants. THE ROSETTA WEB™ is reconstructing the universities, industrial contractors, machine shops, engineering firms, chemical suppliers, electronics manufacturers, specialty fabricators, military organizations, and other institutions whose work connected the larger system.

Foundation Edition

A permanent home for the less-visible nuclear network.

This gateway establishes the public architecture now so verified organizations and relationships can be added progressively. It is not presented as a complete directory. Records enter the public network only after source, citation, evidentiary-status, and public-release review.

Academic laboratories, faculty research groups, university-operated facilities, wartime research programs, and institutional contract relationships.

Evidence before connection

A name is not a connection.

A documented association is not automatically a documented task, material, shipment, worker population, or exposure. Each connection in the network must be independently supported by evidence.

Public population rule

Build the architecture. Populate it carefully.

Material moves from the private Master Evidence research system to the public site only after it reaches the appropriate publication threshold. Unverified relationships, retrieval leads, and sensitive or unsuitable material remain outside the public network.

A missing link remains a missing link.

How the network will grow

Every verified organization can become a doorway into the evidence.

Contracts & Procurement

Connect organizations to documented MED/AEC/ERDA/DOE or military contract and procurement relationships.

Facilities & Work

Identify physical work locations, buildings, processes, tasks, and periods only where the record supports them.

Materials & Shipments

Trace documented materials, components, transfers, receipts, and Nuclear Materials Genealogy relationships.

Workers & Archives

Connect documented worker populations to surviving payrolls, rosters, monitoring records, repositories, and missing-record targets.

The Hidden Nuclear Weapons Complex is designed to cross-link with the Facility Atlas, People & Organizations, Materials, Shipments, Occupational History, Documents & Archives, Missing Evidence, and the Public Evidence Explorer as records are publication-cleared.
