Description: When properly handled in the laboratory, radioactive materials constitute little danger. This program shows the precautions used in working with radiation as well as the research carried on at Argonne to gain more knowledge about handling radiation. “Hot Caves” (a cave is a radiation chamber) using mechanical slave manipulators, caves using the only electronic manipulators in the country, and giant caves using heavy duty manipulators illustrate the safety methods mentioned. Another demonstration outlines the method used to dispose of radioactive waste material. Guests are Stephen Lawroski, director of the Chemical Engineering Division and Coordinator of Engineering Research and Development, and Victor Munnecke, assistant director of the Chemical Engineering Division., Depicts the precautions used in working with radiation and describes the research at Argonne to gain more knowledge about handling radiation. Illustrates safety methods with 'HOT CAVES' using mechanical slave manipulators, caves using the only electronic manipulators in the country and giant caves using heavyduty manipulators. Demonstrates the method used to dispose of radioactive waste material.
