>I wish I could find some records, but I do not even know where to look.

The National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas had a room full of file cabinets full of records you could look through the last time I was there, that might be a start.

Maybe one of the national labs that currently works on stuff has public records?

The Atomic History Museum in LV does not allow casual perusing of their stacks, unfortunately. They will refer you to online NTS archives, and the vast majority of those available (post-declassification) are about radiation effects on biology particularly as regards historical incidents of radiation hazards. Oh, and, no index so you never know if you are seeing the entire universe of documents available. An archivist’s bugbear, IMO.

When I was there a few years back there was a room there full of file cabinets you could indeed peruse.

Yes I don't doubt that this was once the case.
