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 63 decontamination; each man checks his film dosimeter to see if he was exposed to radiation; fire-fighting equipment is checked for contamina- tion; personnel are rechecked for radiation after removal of protective gear; film badges are checked; and all personnel scrub down. FUEL ELEMENT BURNING EXPERIMENT (1959). 24 minutes, color. Produced by the USAEC's Idaho Operations Office and the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Motion Picture Service, for the USAEC. For sale by the Motion Picture Service at $101.00 per print, including shipping case. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries. Cleared for television. This film describes an experiment at the National Reactor Testing Station, Idaho, in which aircraft reactor fuel elements, together with other materials, were melted in a simulated aircraft crash. The experiment consisted of two phases: the first (Phase A) used jet fuel as the combustible and the second (Phase B) used Thermite to produce high temperature to assure melting. In Phase A, melting did not occur, and no radioactivity was released. In Phase B, melting did occur, with the release of a small amount of activity (10,000 curies of fission products) in the National Reactor Testing Station out to a distance of V 2 mile. The total experiment provided preliminary experimental data upon which to base further experiments and to make very preliminary estimates of the hazards of mobile reactors in an accident situation. (The film should be of interest to persons concerned with: the release of fission products from radioactive fuel elements when the element is completely melted; the results obtained by the destruction of fuel elements containing significant fission products; development of air- craft reactors; and generalized safety research. The film should be of particular interest to personnel associated with organic-moderated facilities in which fire hazard is a factor, radiological health and safety activities, the Radiological Assistance Program, etc.) GROUP SHELTER (1960). 10 minutes, color. Produced for the USAEC's Civil Effects Branch by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Motion Picture Service. For sale by the producer, at $40.00 per print, including shipping case. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries. Cleared for television. This film, understandable to the lay audience, will be of interest to both technical and nontechnical personnel concerned with the protection of large groups from the effects of nuclear weapons. The film de- scribes an underground corrugated-metal arch shelter design for the protection of 100 persons for two weeks or more. Also shown, via a model, are the aboveground entryway and the underground compart- ments for sleeping, living, services, and utilities. The design, based
