Series Description: This record series contains memoranda, reports, correspondence, and a trip report by Robert H. Wilson, of the University of Rochester Atomic Energy Project, relating to the problem of radioactive particle releases from Oak Ridge stacks. Information includes sample collection techniques and locations; alpha and beta counts, usually expressed in counts per minute (c/m); and analyses of stack samples. Samples were collected using filter paper set up at locations throughout the site. Although the reports emphasize uranium dioxide (UO2), other fission products are also mentioned. Particle size is expressed in microns.
