Series Description: This report summarizes the activities of the Health Physics and Safety Section during 1965. (In July 1966 the Applied Health Physics Section became known as Health Physics and Safety.) The report describes environmental and laboratory operations, personnel monitoring, surveying, and industrial safety functions. It also includes results of laboratory assays; notes on instrumentation development and use; lists of publications, training procedures, and activities; and a record of personnel exposures, accidents, and injuries. Interspersed tables and graphs provide quantitative information, such as weekly averages of radioactive fallout; concentrations of radioactivity in rainwater; the amount of liquid waste measured in curies, discharged into White Oak Creek, Clinch River, and Tennessee River; dose to laboratory personnel; and frequency of unusual occurrences. The report includes an organizational chart for the division.
