Hanford Engineer Works monthly report, June 1946.

摘要

This progress report discusses activities at Hanford Engineer Works for the month of June 1946. On June 4 the Plant completed 143 days without a time losing injury and became eligible for the General Manager's Safety Award. A suitable prize is being presented to each employee. The month of June was successful from the standpoint of safety and as of month end 166 safe days had been accumulated. The 100 D and 100 F Areas operated at power levels of 250 megawatts (MW) and 200 MW respectively. Scheduled shutdowns for routine maintenance and metal discharge were taken. Overall operating time efficiency was 84.5% and is low because the replacement of the No. 9 horizontal rod thimble at D required 86 hours. Operating schedules in the Separations Plant were adjusted to process discharged metal from the 100 Areas. A 60 day ''cooling'' period was maintained. Fifty-seven charges were started through the Canyon Buildings and 64 were delivered from the Isolation Building. B Plant was down for 6 days during the month due to a failure in a metal waste line which caused an appreciable cave-in adjacent to the Canyon Building. After testing the spare lines, operations were resumed and steps have been taken to correct the fault. Representatives of the General Electric Company arrived on the project on June 17 to make preliminary arrangements for their acceptance of operating responsibility as the new contractor. The entire period was spent in interviewing personnel both individually and in groups.
