The Clarksville Modification Center was established in
1958 for the purpose of testing and modifying the components
of nuclear weapons. The Center was located near Clarksville,
TN, on a corner of the Ft. Campbell, KY, military

AEC for storage. The Clarksville Modification Center was
closed in September 1965 and its functions were transferred
to Pantex and Burlington. In 1967 the AEC surrendered
control of the area back to the Army.
Throughout the course of its operations, the potential
for beryllium exposure existed at this site.
