McDaniel Morrow County Treasurer $ 305,652.15 The Hanford Story- (The following is the fifth of a series of seven articles disclosing the highlights and sidelights which have accompanied the. na tion's development of atomic energy. Prepared at tne Hantord atomic energy plant, the series deals with the human things which followed in the wake of the first historic ' announcement that man had harnessed the atom. It touches upon the things which lie ahead.) By Bill Jury General Electric News Bureau Hanford Atomic Plant The cast of characters vital to the development of atomic energy lists many players; scientists, engineers, designers, recearch teams, laborers, clerks, and strangely enough Sheep. Sheep and other domestic ani mals are an important part of a plan to probe into the many un known of the atomic age. In tidy pens in the shadow of the huge Hanford atomic energy plant near Richland, Wash., sheep are being studied by some of the world's fortmost biologists to de termine how they react radioac tive isotopes. Findings from these studies already have help ed scientists take longed strides in the field of veterinary medicine, and have problems pertaining to atomic energy. What happens to livestock to excessive radiation, and, for that matter, what amount is exces sive? Those questions are being answered at the Hanford plant today by General Electric com pany scientists whose chief labor atories are clean brick barns where their purebred Suffolk sheep are housed. Countless experiments proved The answer to everyday Insurance problems By Turner Van Marter & Bryant Js QUESTION: Is Additional Extended Coverage in a tire insurance policy the same as Extended Coverage or is it something extra? ANSWER: Additional Ex tended Coverage is just what it says. Many 'water damage losses and structu ral and glass damages not covered under standard Fire Insurance o r Extended Coverage have now been grouped together for addi tional protection at low premium cost. I( youll address your ewn insurance questions to this office, we'll try to give you th correct answers and there will be no charge or obligation of any kind. TURNER, VAN MARTER AND BRYANT INSURANCE. REAL ESTATE Phone 6-9652 Heppner that highly radioactive waste particles from the plutonium-pro-ducing Hanford Works are not harmful to animals or humans after they have been dispelled in the atmosphere, despite the fact that many of the particles even tually fall to the earth and settle on grazing lands. However, suppose the plant fa cilities were altered or increased; suppose another plant were built elsewhere in the nation where wind currents swooped the parti cles to the ground instead of scattering them into the atmos phere as they do at Hanford. One part of GE's job is to deter mine if a greater number of par ticles, or a greater concentration of particles, would be harmful to man or animals in the vicinity. Again, the team dl biologists and their black-faced Suffolk sheep are providing an answer to the riddle. Since 1950, experiments have been conducted in GE laborator ies in an attempt to define the threshold level between safety and danger. The Suffolk sheep have been fed concentrated food pellets spiked with 1-131, radio active iodine. Quantities of the radioactive Iodine are varied in a search to locate the amount which may be ingested daily without causing either structual or functional changes in the ani mal. Every other condition to pro mote health is included in the care of the sheep so that the experiments are conducted on normal, healthy animals. They are among the nation's best fed sheep, stowing away liberal quantities of vitamins and mine rals and nutrients in the form of alfalfa, grain, and concentrated food pellets. In time, the biologists' work with sheep will provide part of the information that will be need ed by engineers and scientists who design future atomic plants and will furnish much informa tion of value to the entire live stock Industry and to the medical profession. Beneficial conclusions will be longer in coming, but the re sults will be valuable to the scientist and layman alike.
