SAFETY, WASTE DISPOSAL. AND MONITORING 73 dents involving radioactive materials. Liberal use is made of charts, pictures, actual packages, and off-screen film footage to show that only a small proportion of shipments of radioactive materials can present any real danger in the event of accident. ICC shipping labels are shown and explained and the regulations relating to individual packages briefly discussed. A typical package is opened step-by-step from the outer container down to the final inner container, holding a radioiso- tope. Included is a simulated accident with a leaking container which causes unnecessary alarm. A simulated accident which might cause serious consequences is shown. The question of radioactive material becoming airborne in an accident, the degree of hazard, and precau- tions to be taken are then discussed. Radioactive contamination, ship- ping of fissile materials, nuclear weapons accidents, and the avail- ability of radiological assistance are discussed in turn. TRANSPORTATION OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS, PART III, PRIN- CIPLES OF REGULATION (1965). 15V 2 minutes, black and white.

This film, in the form of a lecture by F. L. Brannigan and D. E. Patterson, USAEC Safety Engineers, discusses the basic principles underlying two sets of regulations for the transportation of radioactive materials, those of the United States Interstate Commerce Commission and those of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Using novel graphics, the speakers describe: Curie High Specific Activity, Low Specific Activity, dilution concentration, and ionization. A detailed explanation is given of the equation: "inherent ionizing ability" multiplied by "availability" equals "hazard." Availability is defined as the total mechanism by which the radioactive material gets into a position to ionize living tissue. Each of the two regulation systems is analyzed separately to show how the form, packaging, and quantity of radionuclides of varying inherent ionizing ability are manipulated to produce an acceptable level of hazard. The framework presented is shown to be necessary for any system of regulation. THE WOODEN OVERCOAT (1965). 14 minutes, color. Produced for the USAEC by the Sandia Corporation.
