74 SAFETY, WASTE DISPOSAL, AND RADIATION HAZARDS SAFETY, WASTE DISPOSAL, AND RADIATION HAZARDS ATOMS ON THE MOVE: TRANSPORTATION OF RADIOACTIVE TERIALS (1966). 24 minutes, color. Produced by Bennie Korzen Productions for the USAEC. For in- formation about print sales, inquire at the Audio Visual Branch, Division of Public Information, USAEC, Washington, D. C. 20545. This non-technical film surveys the various means of transporting ra- dioactive 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 quan- tity 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; radioisotopes 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. R-A-P: RADIOLOGICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (1965). 26V 2 minutes, color. Produced for the USAEC by J. L. Feierbacher, with the techni- cal assistance of AEC's Division of Operational Safety and AEC's Idaho Operations Office. For sale by Consolidated Film Indus- tries at $79.93 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Holly- wood. Shows the readiness and proficiency of radiological assistance teams in various re-enacted instances of emergencies. This documentary film is aimed at the level of the educated laymen — audiences in state and local government, AEC and state licensees, the transportation industry, military and Civil Defense units, and others concerned with problems in dealing with radioactive materials. The R-A-P team's effectiveness is shown to be dependent on the co- operation of other groups and individuals at different levels of govern-
