DPW Reports, 1950-1987.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/86119467

The code "DP" was assigned to the Explosives Department's Atomic Energy Division for use on documents relating to research and development that were to be distributed to the Atomic Energy Division and various subcontractors. The "DPW" code was used by the file room on AED documents generated in Wilmington, Del. These included minutes of technical and administrative meetings, as well as meetings of the Process Section and Manufacturing Division. Memoranda and correspondence relate to all aspects of Savannah River Plant operations including construction, reactor design and fabrication, establishment of quality control, safety, and health physics programs. There are reports by SRP staff describing their visits to other nuclear facilities, including Hanford, Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, and Argonne National laboratories. The correspondence also documents relationships with subcontractors and consultants such as the Battelle Memorial Institute. There are also progress reports (weekly and monthly), reports on metallurgical fabrication, waste disposal and the development of separation technology.

This collection of transparencies was used by representatives of the Atomic Energy Commission (A.E.C.) during a presentation before the Alaska House State Affairs Committee, April 4, 1970, in Juneau. At the time of the presentation, the A.E.C. was planning a second underground nuclear test on Amchitka Island in 1971, code-named CANNIKIN. Testimony was heard from several groups against a second test as well as adverse testimony about the first test which took place in October, 1969 and was code n...
