Abstract |
On October 29, 1948, a report (ORNL 48-10-377) prepared by O.R. Placak and R.J. Morton appeared entitled 'Proposal For Evaluating The Impact of Water-Borne Radioactive Contaminants On Sanitary Engineering Facilities'. This report called attention to the need for investigating the effect of radioactive substances upon the design and operation of sanitary facilities utilized by civilian or military populations, since limited background knowledge is available on this subject. They recommended that an experimental plant for the study of this problem should be provided. This report is concerned primarily with the design of the experimental water treatment plant facilities and of their approximate costs. (Author) |
