The Manual for the Radiological Laboratory

Abstract

After the fifteenth of September the preparation of the manual chapter drafts was well under way. New procedures for determinations of various isotopes or energies of activities were examined and tested for inclusion in the manual, and correspondence had been initiated with other organizations which might have additional information on various specialized subjects. The manual chapter on the biological effects of radiation was being prepared by Dr. C. A. Tobias of the Donner Laboratory of Medical Physics, University of California at Berkeley. Certain chapters of the manual were thus ready for testing during the Signal Corps participation in Operations Buster and Jangle, the Fall weapons tests at the Las Vegas Test Site. These drafts were sent to Mr. Anderson, the Traccerlab radiochemist working with the Signal Corps party at the Site, and criticized in the light of the actual field operation.
