| dc.description | The exploration activities of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) including exploration drilling, aerial radiometric surveys, and geophysical surveys, during the 1950's are well documented in reports issued by the AEC. The program of constructing and improving access roads to exploration and mining areas is less known. During the period 1951-1958, some 90 projects totalling 1,253 miles of roads were improved in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. Total cost of these projects was $17 million of which $14 million was provided by the AEC. The remaining $3 million came from state and federal funds (O'Rear, 1966, pg. 13). AEC documents recently located in the U. S. Department of Energy archives at the Grand Junction Project Office, gave some details of the access road program in Arizona. | |
