'Camp Century was constructed by the U. S. Army Polar Research
Development Center (now the U. S. Army Research Support Group). The
U. S. Army Engineer Research and Development Laboratories, with
consultation and assistance from the U. S. Army Cold Regions
Research and Engineering Laboratory and guidance from the Chief of
Engineers, prepared preliminary design specifications for the camp.
The PM-ZA Nuclear Power Plant was designed by ALCO Products,
Incorporated, Schenectady, New York, under contract to the U. S.
Army Engineer District, Eastern Ocean. The Nuclear Power Plant
buildings were designed by the engineering firm of Metcalf and
Eddy, Boston, Massachusetts.'
Camp Century: Koldkrigsbyen under Grønlands
indlandsis.
/ : Henry Nielsen og Kristian Hvidtfelt Nielsen . Aarhus
Universitetsforlag, 2017.
Midt under den kolde krig gik den
amerikanske hær i al hemmelighed i gang med at bygge en
militærbase dybt inde i Grønlands indlandsis.
Officielt var Camp Century en forskningsstation. Men det
langsigtede mål var potentielt altødelæggende.
USA ville rette 600 atomsprænghoveder mod Sovjetunionen. I
1966, efter kun seks år, opgav amerikanerne det
kontroversielle projekt og forlod lejren. Alligevel har Camp
Century flere gange nedkølet de politiske og diplomatiske
relationer mellem USA, Grønland og Danmark.
Så vidt jeg kan bedømme det er al relevant litteratur
rigtigt godt formidlet.
Det eneste nyttige der kom ud af projektet var
iskerneboringerne.
Danmark opgiver at få USA til at betale for rustne
amerikanske olietønder og andet affald i
Grønland: Regeringen vil bruge 180 millioner kroner
på at rydde op i Grønland efter gamle amerikanske
militærinstallationer – og der ventes ingen bidrag fra

'Each year since 1952 the Transportation Corps has conducted
operations and studies designed to extend the military and
scientific knowledge of the Greenland icecap and surrounding
ice-free land areas. The operating and navigation techniques which
have been developed by the Transportation Corps have become
standard for icecap operations in both the Arctic and Antarctic
regions. Project LEAD DOG 60, a continuation of these studies, was
carried out in conjunction with nine other Department of Defense
and US Govern-. ment agencies.'

Army Audiovisual Center. (ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984). The first release
of the 1961-1962 THE BIG PICTURE series tells the story of a
research and development project undertaken by the United States
Army Corps of Engineers in Greenland. This city under the ice cap
referred to as Camp Century, is a new concept of polar
construction. It is today's Modern Army in action on a new frontier
of solid ice and snow. During this 30-minute presentation, you will
see how snowy wastelands are developed into a completely built city
equipped with every convenience from a nuclear power plant to a
shower.
