In an office room, several young staff members sit at a table assembling information packages on atomic energy to be mailed to interested citizens. The effort was part of the outreach work of the Office of Atomic Information, established by the Federation of American Scientists in 1946 to educate laypeople about the opportunities and dangers of the new technology. These so-called study kits contained pamphlets and fact sheets and were aimed at schools and civic groups, among others.
