THE NATIOKAL B m U OF STANDARDS ON KARCE 10, 1950 The visitors will neet i n the Lecture Room in the Niaterials Testing chiefs i n the Radiation Physics laboratory. At this time we will introduce the several section The Materials Testing Laboretor*-; i s located on the northeast corner of Van Ness Street and Reno Road, Avenue and turning l e f t on Van Ness Street, or by driving out by way of Massachusetts Avenue, 34th Street and Reno Road. Ths can be reached by driving out Connecticut Lauriston S. Taylor, Chief, Radiation Physics Laboratory U. Fano, Chief, Nuclear Physics Section (Acting Chief, Radioactivity Section) (Acting Chief, Nucleonic Instrumentation Seotion) H. William Koch, Chief, Betatron Section Scott W. Smith, Chief, Radiologioal Equipment Section Robert L. Butenhoff t . Chief, Radiation Instrumentation Branch Orientation t a l k (Taylor) Materials Testing Laboratory, Leoture Room A short talk will be given outlining the general program of the, Radiation Physics Iaboratory. the programs on shielding, instrument ation ard related r e search. Particular emphasis will be given t o Radon testing and radioactive ore sampling (L. L. Stockman) Room 305, Materials Testing Laboratory. Main bay, High Voltage laboratory (Taylor). Other high voltage generator equipnent Target and radiation room (Wckoff). Arrangement for 180° radiation measurements Broad and narrow beam X-ray shielding High enerev instrument calibrations
