Series Description: This record series consists of detailed reports providing step-by-step descriptions of production runs in Building 706-D during the first half of 1946. The reports identify the number of slugs used in the operation, the processes involved, the number of curies in the products and in the waste produced, any deviations from normal operations, and accidents. Tables provide statistics for each step in the process. Data is presented in curies, percentages, and gallons per minute. Samples are identified by Analytical Laboratory codes which are explained in the 706-D Analytical Laboratory Manual (CF 46-1-148).
