Oak Ridge National Laboratory

	1. Oak Ridge National Laboratory workers checking for radioactive contaminants (circa 1950) (312Kbytes)
	2. Oak Ridge National Laboratory workers turning in their pocket dosimeters (circa 1950). Various types of dosimeters were worn by workers to measure radiation doses and prevent excessive exposure. (233Kbytes)
	3. Oak Ridge technicians measuring air monitor samples for radiation (158Kbytes)
	4. An Oak Ridge National Laboratory employee having a blood test to detect radiation exposure (circa 1950). (169Kbytes)
	5. Aerial view of the Oak Ridge X-10 facility (1945), which served as a pilot for the Hanford plutonium production reactors. After World War II, the facility produced isotopes for national distribution. (PHOTO: U.S. ARMY) (201Kbytes)
	6. Oak Ridge health physics technicians monitoring a cafeteria for radiation. (161Kbytes)
	7. Oak Ridge technicians reading dosimeters to detect worker radiation exposures. (146Kbytes)
	8. An Oak Ridge isotope worker (right) and a health physics technician (circa 1950). (147Kbytes)
	9. Isotope processing buildings, Oak Ridge. (129Kbytes)
