Good. iv 30 pages. Footnotes. 8 Charts. Cover has some wear and soiling. Ex-library with the usual library markings. This report includes narrative descriptions of accidents involving radiation reported to the Atomic Energy Commission by its contractors in 1957 and 1958. Data are also presented on occupational injuries and fatalities in all activities of the Atomic Energy Commission since the beginning of the AEC as a civilian agency Jan 1 1947 through Dec. 30 1958. Narrative descriptions are included on all fatal accidents during 1957 and 1958. The contents are: Industrial Injury Rates AEC Fatal Accident Experience A Summary of Accidents Involving Fatalities in Atomic Energy Activities 1957-58 Lost Time Injuries from Radiation and A summary of Accidents Involving Radioactive Materials in Atomic Energy Activities 1957-58. Where comparisons are made the latest data on injuries published by the National Safety Council were used. The Commission's injury rates taken as a whole including accidents involving nuclear radiation compare very favorably with the best rates in the National Safety Council's annual report. The over-all AEC injury frequency rate for several years has been second or third from the top. In most cases of strains and sprains workers were lifting improperly or failed to obtain proper assistance. Over 90 per cent of the fracture resulted either from workers falling from a different level or from falling objects striking the workers. The fatality rate was attributed to increased construction activity. It was noted that at all times the rate deaths per 100000 employees had been below the average industrial occupational fatality rate reported by the National Safety Council.

Good. iv 35 1 pages. Footnotes. 7 Charts. Cover has some wear and soiling. Ex-library with the usual library markings. Date stamped on front cover. Short narrative descriptions of incidents involving radioactive materials have been separated from the total accident experience because of their special interest to the atomic energy industry. In some instances the 1959-60 accidents have been added to the tables previously published in which were compiled data beginning in 1945. A new table of inadvertent criticality situations is included in this supplement through the courtesy of Mr. William Stratton of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. Also included in this supplement is a tabulation of exposure records at values from zero to 15 rems which reflects a measure of the control of radiation in the work places in Commission operations. The contents include: Serious Accidents 1959-1960; AEC Industrial Injury Frequency Rates Criticality Accidents Radiation Exposure A Summary of Accidents Involving Radioactive Materials in AEC Activities 1959-1960 and A Summary of Accidents involving Fatalities in AEC Activities 1959-1960. A serious accident was defined as an accident required to be reported immediately to Commission Headquarters and included any of the following: a fatalities; b government property damage of $5000 or more; c an external radiation exposure greater than 15 rems received over a short period of time; and d other injury or industrial illness no matter how slight of five or more persons in one accident and other defined accidents.

1968233001968. Fire destruction of Trinity United Methodist Church on South 2nd Street in Clearfield Pennsylvania photographed during the active overnight blaze of December 21 1968 in a dramatic sequential record of one of the borough's largest twentieth century urban fires. The archive captures the church while fully engulfed preserving flames erupting through the roofline smoke pouring from the arcaded façade hose streams striking the structure from darkened streets and the silhouette of the church tower rising above the fire. The photographs record not only the destruction of a major downtown religious landmark led at the time by Rev. Oliver H. R. Krapf but also the operational reality of late 1960s volunteer firefighting systems in small town Pennsylvania where borough police volunteer companies ladder apparatus hydrant pressure and regional mutual aid networks were rapidly assembled in an effort to contain a spreading structural fire. The blaze was first spotted around 2:10 a.m. by taxi driver Billy Knepp after which Fire Chief William Swisher summoned neighboring companies to prevent the fire from spreading beyond the church into the surrounding civic center.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 16 silver gelatin photographs mounted to a large cardstock sheet measuring approximately 20" x 14" each image roughly 3.5" x 5" Clearfield Pennsylvania December 1968. Each photograph is numbered by hand from 1 to 16 and together they function almost cinematically moving through different stages and vantage points of the firefight. The images center the church's cut stone arcades and bell tower as bright interior firelight blows outward through the large arched openings and flames tear across the roof structure above. Several photographs show powerful hose streams cutting diagonally across the frame toward the burning façade while others pull back into wider nighttime street scenes where bare winter trees utility poles parked cars wet pavement and gathered onlookers remain visible beneath smoke and reflected firelight. One frame includes a firefighter seen from behind at street level facing the inferno while another captures a bicyclist or passerby entering the foreground as the church burns behind him. Multiple views emphasize the repetition of the long arcade row transforming the church exterior into a glowing sequence of arches illuminated by active fire inside the structure. The resulting series preserves not only the destruction itself but the visual atmosphere of the emergency response: steam smoke glare darkness reflective pavement and shifting vantage points from the surrounding streets as firefighters attempted to control the blaze.<br /> <br /> The archive is especially significant as documentation of pre modernized municipal fire response during a period when Pennsylvania boroughs depended heavily on intercompany volunteer assistance for major structural fires. The identified responding companies from Lawrence Township Hyde Curwensville Philipsburg and Chester Hill gives the group great specificity within the history of regional mutual aid firefighting networks. At the same time the photographs preserve the loss of an architecturally prominent early twentieth century Methodist church before widespread sprinkler retrofitting and later fire protection standards transformed many American religious and civic structures in the decades that followed. Mount toning with expected contrast loss and glare in several high intensity night exposures. Overall good condition. unknown
