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

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.
