MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORT FOR THE. RADIATION INSTRUMENTS BRANCH,

JULY 1950
BMR:JCG

AOSDAY

Kits containing equipment for the Washington AEC Emergenoy Radiological Monitoring Teams have been distributed to each of the four groups.
Three of the groups have already held meetings to discuss operating
procedures and general problems and to become familiar with the instruments. Development on civilian defense radiological monitoring instruments at each of the five AEC installations is continuing, but the status has not changed substantially during the last month. Arrangements

have been made with the National Bureau of Standards to conduct spec-

tral sensitivity tests and with the Signal Corps at Fort Monmouth to

conduct environmental and ruggedness tests on civilian defense type
instruments, The first instrument, designed by the New York Operations

Office, is scheduled for testing early in August.

The Radiation Instruments Catalog copy was shipped to Oak Ridge for

printing and distribution. The Catalog will contain photographs and
descriptive material on 193 items. Products from 85 companies are
listed. The Bureau of Standards is preparing facilities to be made
available to the Branch for calibrating, testing, and storing radiation
instruments.
