Los Alamos Police Department on "Assistance Rendered by a Crime Laboratory to
the Police Department."
Plans for publishing the collected analytical procedures of Group H-5 as
a Los Alamos document are proceeding.

All methods are being reviewed carefully

and some revisions are being made to permit wide circulation of this manual.
The revisions of Room 142 at HRL Building were completed and work on

heavy metals, enriched uranium, and other analytical procedures are now being
carried out there.

The fluorometric uranium apparatus has been moved to Room 138

and the fractionating column to Room 140.
