Building 313 operations

Description: On June 3 the writer was detailed to the 300 Area to study operations in Bldg, 313. Seven days were spent with C shift in the caning and dipping area. In this period, a system of coordinating press cycles was developed to utilize machine time most effectively. Subsequently, a brief amount of time was spent working in a design of the can cleaning area so as to incorporate the aluminum can etching operation and facilitate the handling and flow of materials. The next stage of perhaps a week was de… more

Explosives TNX Technical Division, Hanford weekly report for period ending July 25, 1944

Description: Progress on finding suitable water conditions for start-up had been approached as closely as possible with our present equipment and information as to the requirements. The water composition should be attainable that is not corrosive or build up a film rapidly, and we have means available for removal of such films. Slug classification methods were analyzed from a dimensional standpoint. Analysis of current CMX data was undertaken with the objective of establishing allowable variations in pressu… more

Exposures exceeding tolerance

Description: This letter was written in 1944 and applies to the amount of radiation a person could be subjected to under emergency, wartime conditions. Mr. Stone recommends to Dr. Norwood that no man should be ordered to expose himself to more than a tolerance dose (0.1r in a 24 hr period) except in the case of an extreme emergency in which time is of the essence. And that before any man is asked to exceed tolerance that a radiation trained physician be called in for consultation. His recommendations to sai… more

Classified information required by operators and others exposed to radiation hazards

Description: Information required by operators exposed to radiation hazards is discussed. All areas of the plant are subjected to radiation hazards similar to those in the radium industry. Personnel in these areas are required to wear pencil meters and special badges that are evidently not solely for identification. They are required to submit to medical examinations more stringent and frequent than usual. They are required to wear heavy gloves in one location, thin gloves in another, disposable hats or rub… more

Operating standards: Study of start up, physics measurements

Description: As a starting point for planning the physics measurements to be made during the start up of the pile, this memorandum describes a procedure for each of three cases, a large poisoned pile, running at power with a small unpoisoned pile but marking physics measurements with the large pile before going to power, and a similar case except that the physics measurements on the large pile are done after running with power on the small pile This memorandum should by no means be taken as a final proposal… more
