Unclassified Laboratory Notebooks, 1943-1983 contain data and observations of various researchers conducting experiments in laboratories throughout ORNL. Information on RaLa production and the development of the RaLa process is scattered throughout these volumes. Notebooks contain summary data, remarks, diagrams, equations, calculations, and general notes by scientists working on various projects.
Formerly Classified Laboratory Notebooks, 1948-1960, have been (June-July, 1994) reviewed for declassification. Notebook numbers CL-2066-6007 represent those surveyed in this inventory. Between 800 and 1000 notebooks have been downgraded to unclassified but some remain classified "Secret Restricted Data" due to the content. Notebooks surveyed contained scattered references to RaLa, iodine-131, cesium-137, and mercury.
