Series Description: This series contains forms which were filled out when the Monitor Alarm System was activated. The report identifies the monitor number, building, and room location; date and time the alarm sounded; names of employees responding to the alarm; meter index readings; radiation survey results; reason the alarm was activated (usually for a test evacuation); results of the film cassette development (if applicable); date and time the "all clear" sounded; and the name of the person preparing the form. The Department 185 (Beta Chemical) Weekly Monitor Operation Reports record daily readings for radiation monitors, and forms titled L & W Meters provide readings for meters that sounded alarms, note whether all sirens and lights came on as expected, and indicate the need for, and date of, repairs.
