An inventory of the contaminated materials accumulated since the initiation of this project in June 1958, revealed a larger variety and quantity of materials that could be burned, than was specified for the initial scope. Therefore, it is desirable to revise the scope to permit handling the majority of these materials with the initially installed equipment.

By radiation dosimetry, we will mean the determination of the energy deposited per unit mass of irradiated material by ionizing radiation. Usually the material of interest in tissue and the results are to be applied to a radiobiological experiment, a radiotherapy treatment, or the protection of personnel from radiation hazards. The same methods, however, are applied to such engineering problems as the production of heat by reactor radiations, the use of radiation in chemical reactions or food processing, etc.
