We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
SAFETY, WASTE DISPOSAL, AND MONITORING 61 such filters; their inspection at USAEC Quality Assurance Stations before installation at nuclear sites; the in-place testing of filters as an effective contamination control program; and current research and development in the area of high efficiency mechanical air cleaning. The R&D activity, filmed at Harvard Air Cleaning Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Edgewood Arsenal, covers iodine collection systems; fine aerosol reaction on filters; in-pile and out-of- pile fuel meltdown studies; the production and dispersion of solid aerosols in an exploding wire aerosol generator; foam tests to en- capsulate radioactive materials; rare gas absorption studies; experi- ments with diffusion boards as a gas and particulate removal surface; cleaning of stainless steel wool filters with shock waves; and the dispersal of radioactive wastes by incineration. ATOMS ON THE MOVE: TRANSPORTATION OF RADIOACTIVE MA-' TERIALS (1966). 20 minutes, color. Produced by Robert E. Leamy Productions for the USAEC's New York Operations Office.

Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries. Cleared for television. This non-technical film surveys the various means of transporting radioactive materials and the safety aspects underlying their packaging and handling. Using animation and live action photography, the film illustrates that by their very nature, radioactive materials are varied and so are the potential hazards associated with shipping and using them. By evaluating the form of the material and the kind and the quantity of radioactivity, one may determine how the materials are properly packaged for shipment. Most radioactive materials are safely shipped by common carrier. The film shows typical shipments enroute: atoms on the move everyday, everywhere by train, truck, aircraft and ship. Varied items are dealt with: ores; atomic fuel for reactors; spent fuel being returned for processing; atomic weapons; radio- isotopes for medicine, research and industry; and atomic wastes being shipped for disposal. The film discusses responsibilities of agencies such as the AEC, the ICC, Bureau of Explosives, Federal Aviation Agency, Coast Guard and state and local offices. Also shown are some aspects of safety research and development designed to limit the consequences of an accident involving these materials. An accident situation and clean-up are shown. We learn that radioactive materials are invaluable tools and products in today's industry and in our daily lives, and how modern transportation moves these materials quickly, quietly, and safely.
