Hanford Works monthly report, March 1948
This document discusses activities during the month of March 1948. Production requirements were met by operation of the D and F Piles at 275 MV, the B Pile remaining in stand-by condition. In the 300 Area, lead dip canning of Alpha rolled metal instead of gamma extruded metal was started on a production basis during the month. Thus far irradiated Alpha rolled lead dipped material has not shown any appreciable blistering tendencies. Thirty-six batches were started in the Canyon Buildings and thirty-seven were completed through the Isolation Building. Although the very large contaminated particles which were being discharged from the stacks of the 200 Areas have been essentially eliminated by the replacement of the iron duct work and fans of the exhaust system, the problem of the smaller, mist-like particles still exists. This problem of removal of these small particles is being actively pursued by installation of special filters and scrubbers in the exhaust system. There were no major injuries during March and the plant safety record at month-end was fifty-four days. The Reactor Development Group met in Hanford to discuss present operating problems, the design of new Piles and the direction which should be taken for work on future piles. The General Electric Company's House of Magic was in Richland this month. Fifteen scheduled performances were given with approximately 12,000 persons attending.
