Hanford Works monthly report, February 1948
This document discusses activities during the month of February 1948. Production requirements were met by operating the D and F Piles at 275 MV, the B Pile remaining in stand-by condition. The first severe occurrence of a stuck slug in a process tube occurred in the D Pile on February 2. Approximately three days were required to remove this slug. The operating time efficiency was 68.4%, caused by the above difficulty and scheduled outages for normal discharge of metal and repairs to Van Stone flanges of the process tubes. Production facilities in the 300 Area were placed on a partial two-shift basis on February 2, 1948 to meet anticipated demands for increased production. The new metal casting facilities in the 300 Area were placed in operation in February. Forty batches were started through the Canyon Buildings and forty-two were completed through the Isolation Building. There was one major injury during February. The plant safety record at month-end was twenty-three days. Effective February 1, Maintenance Engineering Section will assume the status of a separate Works Engineering Department, to be known as Project Engineering Department. This Department will handle plant improvement projects originating from plant operations.
