— “pe — === melting these metals on the uranium content of remelt and also the regidual radioactive ity in the metal ingot. And alco, to determine whether or not the treatment of this material would show any adverse effects on either the public health or industry, Our investigation consisted of ob- taining gcrap of the various metals from A.E.C. production sites, such as Oak Ridge, Moelinckrodt and other sites and also to ob= tain samples from the National Bureau of Standards of the same metals prior to the years when the Atomic Energy Program was in existence. Surface measurements were taken of the scrap with smears of examination of the material were also taken and duplicate drilling samrles were made on the scrap and there samples were held for analysis. The melting of the stainless steel, nickel copper and nickel stainless scrap was done in an Ajax high frequency furnace at temperatures ranzing from 400 to 600 degrees Fahrenheit above that of the uranium meiting temperature of 2100 degrees, 78
