Series Description: This record series contains the Laboratory Research Council meeting minutes for September 15 and 30, 1948. The September 15 meeting focused on the problem of radioactive particles being released at ORNL, particularly from the pile area. The council recommended paving unpaved roads to alleviate the dust problem; and that the Chemistry, Physics, and Health Physics Divisions should coordinate their investigations.

The September 30 meeting discussed obtaining samples for analysis from the upcoming October 20 RaLa run. The Council also recommended decontamination procedures in grassy, paved, and gravel-covered ground areas, and discussed the loss of 40 grams of material through the stacks due to a slug rupture.
