      Notes: Includes reports on:  - Radiation safety manual. (Draft version). Background information and instructions for safe handling, storage and disposal of radioactive materials, and safe operation of X ray analytical instruments and equipment generating microwave region radiation.  - Radioactivity of uranium mill products. Extract from: Radiation hazards of uranium mining and milling. Background information on radiological problems arising from mining and milling of uranium.  -  Radiometric survey of Port Pirie tailings dams. Determined effectiveness of dams in retaining uranium tailings and preventing radioactive leakage particularly radium 266. Spread of radioactive contamination outside dam walls is negligible. Amdel project: 1/1/188. Report no. 01165.
