Series Description: The Monthly Electronic Status Reports series contains documentation relevant to the 1957 fire. Each report provides a brief paragraph which describes new or continuing events in Building 71. A Radiation Instruments Group Monthly Report for September 1957 (dated October 9, 1957) indicates that three electronics technicians were continuously assigned to the restoration and maintenance of portable and AC [alternating current]-powered counting instruments. It also states that special priority was given to Building 71, thereby causing electronic or other work to be delayed in Buildings 76 and 77. Reports dated November 6, 1957, and December 6, 1957, indicate that five alpha survey monitors in Room 180 were lost or destroyed during or after the fire. Data Elements: 103, 119-120, 122-124 |
