SAFETY, WASTE DISPOSAL, AND RADIATION HAZARDS 43 by, and for sale by, the National Film Board of Canada, at $90.00 per print, without shipping case, F.O.B. New York. NOT cleared for television. This semitechnical training film, for audiences of high school level and above, covers some of the methods of safe handling of radioisotopes in a laboratory and points out the procedures followed by laboratory personnel to avoid contamination. While the film is instructional in nature, its content is presented in the form of a story of an unlikely, but possible, contamination incident. Told via the flashback technique, the story involves the happenings of one afternoon in a laboratory as a scientist goes about his work in an apparently methodical and routine manner. As he recalls the happenings of the day, the audience sees in detail all the procedures used in the safe handling of radioisotopes. The mystery of the contamination is solved at the end of the film. The film shows the use of protective clothing, radiation measuring devices such as film badges, dosimeters and counters, the handling of the ra- dioisotopes in an experiment using a fume hood, and clean-up proce- dures following an experiment. LIVING WITH A GLOVED BOX (1964). 15 minutes, color. Produced by the USAEC's Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at the University of California. For sale by W. A. Palmer Films, at $66.02 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. San Francisco. Also available for free loan from USAEC headquarters and field libraries, as well as the Graphic Arts Dept., Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, P. O. Box 808, Livermore, Calif. This semitechnical film explains the principles and techniques of work- ing with a gloved box-an enclosure designed for handling radioactive materials of low activity which present a hazard primarily through inhalation and ingestion. The film opens with an explanation of how air currents and turbulences carry various substances, some of which may be hazardous. It shows why highly toxic materials like plutonium can best be handled in a gloved box. The principles of the gloved box are then explained in detail. Such items are covered as: the air flow and pressures within the box; the "bagging in" and "bagging out" of ma- terials; the procedures for changing gloves on the box; the changing of the filter, and a method for handling a fire within the box.
