The hazards to humans of wildfowl on REDOX contaminated swamp
Ducks, geese, coots, and other wild birds, both migratory and resident, have been swimming on the Redox waste water pond and eating the herbage and mud on the bottom. The pond is caused by the discharge of five to ten million gallons of water a day from the heating and cooling coils of reactor vessels in the Redox plant. At least twice in recent months leaks in the coils have permitted solutions of radioactive material to escape to the swamp. Once the leak was in the waste concentrator tank and once in the first oxidation tank, so that the material in the swamp would include significant amounts of every radioisotope found in irradiated uranium, including plutonium and all fission products. This paper discusses the hazards to humans from handling or eating wildfowl and to risk of both internal and external exposure.

Remote mechanical operating methods vs rubber glove operating methods for the 234-5 process
The present RMA Line has now progressed through the run-in period and is engaged in actual production. Considerable new data and experiences are available for use in an evaluation of the basis used for design of the equipment in regard to contamination control and the safety of operating and maintenance personnel. Research and development funds have been allocated to the improvement of the 234-5 process equipment. Thus it is desirable that an up-to-date basis be established for use as criteria for the design development of these improvements. It is concluded that remote control operation of all plutonium purification and fabrication equipment is ultimately desirable. However, until reliable, tested, remote-control equipment is available, the remote control requirement may have to be compromised on some steps of the process to allow non-remote or rubber glove operation in order to obtain equipment with sufficient operating reliability.
