Series Description: : RaLa Quarterly Reports consist of reports on Rala Process-Unit Operations, the 706D Modification Project-Plant Design, and the Material Test Reactor (MTR-B) Arco RaLa Project Design.

Rala Process Quarterly Reports describe developments and improvements in ORNL Rala production, shipment, and waste treatment and disposal. The reports refer to notebooks, classified "Secret," that contain related experimental data.

The 706D Modification Project-Plant Design Quarterly Reports detail ORNL's efforts to improve "the efficiency and operability" of the RaLa plant. Considered modifications include improvements in filter systems, ion exchange systems, and solvent systems. Rala shipment schedules to Los Alamos are discussed in relation to plant modifications, since many of the modifications were designed to meet the requirements of the Los Alamos facility. Construction phases are detailed along with proposed completion dates and progress updates. Engineering and drafting progress on the plant design is also discussed. Costs for modifications are given, and a list of design drawings is provided.

The MTR-B Arco Project-Design Quarterly Reports describe the development of a new Rala production facility built to meet the increased needs of the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
