Any documents found and deemed useful lor meeting Hanford Environmental Dose Reconstruction (HEDR) objectives may be declatsifiec with or withoul deletions in accordance with DOE guidance by Authorized Derivative Declusifiem. The September 1932. letter report, DeclassificationsReauested by the Technical Steerins Panel of Hanford Documents Produced 1944-1960, (PNWD-2024 HEDR UC-707). provides an impomnt milestone toward achieving a complete listing of documents that may be useful to the HEDR Project. The 1429 ernes listed in the report identity the documents as prioritiz2 for eventual declassification (completed in M 1992) by the Technical StHring Panel VSP) and the public. The attached listing of approximately 7.000 currently classified Hanford-originated documents relative to Hanford Production Facilities Operations between 1961 and 1972 fulfills TSP Directive 893. It should be noted that this list does not include such Wes as the Irradiation Procesaing Department, Chemical Processing Department. and Hanford Laboratory Operations monthly reports genere~tedafter 1960 which have boon previously declassified with minor deldons and made publicly available. Also note that Kaiser Engineers Hanford (KEH) Document Control determined that no KEH documents generated between January 1. 1961 and Decamber 31, 1972 are currently classified. Additionally, titles which address work for others have not been included because Hanford Site contractors currentty having custodial responsibility for these documents do not have the authonty to determine whether other than their own staff have on file an appropriate need-to-know. Furthermore. these documents do not normally contain information reiative to Hanford Site operations. Elemental Symbols When Douglas-United Nuclear (DUN) staff entered titles into b data base. those elemental symbols which consisted of ' 3 upper- and lower-case letters (e.g., Plmonium = Pu. Promethium = Pm, Polonium = Po, Neptunium - Np, Nickel = Ni, Niobium = Nb, etc.) did not retain the lower-case letter and upon printing recorded only a space. For example. it is not immediately clear what 'P-' refen to in the document listing DUN-2336 'P Formation. Uranium Credits Burnout and Burnout Costs.' k potentially could rder to Pu, Pm, Po, etc. However, DUN-1852 'P -238 Production Demonstration'. most likely would denote 'Pu' since only Pu has an isotopic of 238. It was determined that an effor; to ioentty the tttles in ouestion. pull and review the documents, and correct the symbol for eacn entry was not COS: effective ana oulsiue the scope of this directwe. It should also be noted that OFT' does not normally refer to Platinum. References to 'PT in document Wes and text more often refers to 'Production Test'. Numberina Svstem This title listing was designed to consider only classified documents beginning January 1, 1961. There are some exceptions, however. Some tjtles may be datea in 1960 or earlier. The collection of V-W documents for which Pacific Northwss: Laboratory has custodial responsibility was not available in machine readable form when the initial listing of documents covering the years 1944-1 960 was prepared. At that time, HW-68000 was chosen as the cut4 oocument Most 'W numbers greater than 60000 are dated in 1961 and later. Howwer some exceptions were observed when preparing this listing $.e.. HW-69074RD 'Control of Radio-Iodine Emissions from the SeDarations Plants' is dated December 19, 1960.) Note that this document was once classified, but has been publicly available for a number of years.

    1 Anne Karpf/The sound of home? Some thoughts on how the radio voice anchors, contains and sometimes pierces (pre-print version; published in The Radio Journal, vol.11, no.1, April 2013, pp.59-73) Abstract This article argues that while psychoanalytic theory has been valuably employed by television, film and cultural studies, there has been no comparable 'psychoanalytic turn' in radio studies. It suggests that the concept of 'containment', as developed variously by Wilfred Bion and Esther Bick, might go some way to explain the powerful role that the voice of the radio presenter can play in the regular listener's internal world, with the capacity both to 'hold' the listener together, and to transform overwhelming fears into more manageable feelings. It argues that the disembodied radio voice does this partly because it recalls the prenatal power of the maternal voice, and partly through the temporal order that regular radio voices impose on the internal and external world. Both Second World War British radio catchphrases and Roosevelt's Fireside Chats are discussed in relation to their containment function. The article also explores the radio as a transitional space, as defined by Donald Winnicott, through which it can constitute listeners into an 'imagined community'. It ends by reflecting on the impact of the angry voice of 2 the 'shock-jock' which, it suggests, amplifies rather than contains overwhelming feelings.1 Contributor's details Anne Karpf is Reader in Professional Writing and Cultural Inquiry at London Metropolitan University. A journalist, broadcaster and radio critic of The Guardian for seven years, her books include 'The Human Voice' (Bloomsbury, 2006; Ehrenwirth, 2007; Autrement, 2008; Soshisha, 2008).

  • Simonelli on Hendy, 'Life on Air: a History of Radio Four'
    H-Albion Simonelli on Hendy, 'Life on Air: A History of Radio Four' Review published on Friday, January 28, 2011 David Hendy. Life on Air: A History of Radio Four. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007. Illustrations. ix + 518 pp. $55.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-19-924881-0. Reviewed by David Simonelli (Youngstown State University) Published on H-Albion (January, 2011) Commissioned by Thomas Hajkowski David Hendy’s introduction opens with a pair of extreme vignettes that aptly capture the nature of the Radio Four audience. In May 1988, an elderly woman strode into Broadcasting House and opened fire with a pistol full of blanks when she could not receive Radio Four in Blackpool; more tragically, a vicar in Surrey beat his wife to death with his radio when he objected to someone’s musical tastes as broadcast on the program Desert Island Discs. As a loyal National Public Radio (NPR) listener, one sniffs at the idea that NPR could elicit the same response, no matter how demented the listener might be. To my knowledge, there is no true equivalent in any other Western nation-state’s culture to match the role that Radio Four plays in Britain. The founder of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Sir John Reith, declared that the entire service had a mission “to inform, to educate, and to entertain” (p. 400). In post-Victorian terms, Reith’s idea was to improve people through listening and get them to like the effort. While other branches of BBC radio and television have drifted off to serve each single aspect of that mandate, only Radio Four has kept a true balance between information, education, and entertainment.

  • Understanding the Shipping and Inshore Waters Forecasts
    UNDERSTANDING THE SHIPPING AND INSHORE WATERS FORECASTS The Shipping Forecast and Inshore Waters Forecast both use a standard and abbreviated format to pass a lot of information in a short period of time - by knowing what's being said and in what order (always the same) it's possible to gain an understanding of the conditions, even in poor reception areas if listening to the forecast on marine VHF. The terms used are standardised. The Coastguard broadcasts Marine Safety Information (MSI) on marine VHF. As well as marine VHF, weather bulletins for shipping are broadcast daily on BBC Radio 4. The bulletins consist of a gale warning summary, general synopsis, sea-area forecasts and coastal station reports. In addition, gale warnings are broadcast at the first available programme break after receipt. If this does not coincide with a news bulletin, the warning will be repeated after the next news bulletin. Shipping Area Forecast Example Shipping Area Forecast - this is Explanation (See also "Terms used") what you'll actually hear during a radio transmission, or read on a text forecast.

  • Postcards from the Edge David Chandler
    Postcards from the Edge David Chandler (Introduction to ‘The Shipping Forecast’. November 1996) For a small minority of people the shipping forecast on BBC radio is precious information, a vital coded message that shapes the course of the working day (or night) for those whose lives and livelihoods are harnessed to the weather at sea. For many others its meaning rests somewhere beyond the real wind and rain, away from the low visibility and threatening swell, in a landscape of the imagination. Here it is intimately linked to a sense of Britain, or rather to the romantic British Isles, a mythical place that ignores national boundaries, existing more as a kind of mirage; a group of islands floating in the ocean of collective memory, a product of half-remembered geography lessons, seaside holidays and old maps and guide books. For most of us the forecast’s sea areas are commonplace yet their actual locations remain unfamiliar. Instead the names: Dogger, Viking, German Bight, Faeroes, are imbued with a seafaring drama, with conflict; they suggest the unremitting challenge of a sea that encloses us, that symbolically protects and isolates the old island nations, battered but surviving. There is no doubt that the shipping forecast’s mesmeric voice and timeless rhythms are buried deep in the public consciousness. But why is it so special and why does it play such an important role in defining this imaginary map of the nation? Part of the attraction must be that in an age dominated by technology and miniaturisation, one increasingly controlled by the gentle tap of the keyboard and the flicker of the screen, the forecast stirs our residual contact with the sublime, our fading sense of epic scenarios, places where great, life- threatening forces are continually unleashed and where nature’s vengeful power always hovers on the horizon.

  • Chapter 3 Poetics of the Shipping Forecast
    chapter 3 Poetics of the Shipping Forecast Sanna Nyqvist Abstract This essay investigates the intertextual manifestations of radio shipping forecasts in fiction, poetry and non- fiction from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden and Finland. The literary adaptations and appropriations of the functional meteor- ological report often retain its peculiar melodic character that results from the compressed, elliptic listing of observations or warnings. In the listening experience evoked by many authors the relative safety of the radio listener’s everyday surround- ings contrasts with the threat of gales and harsh conditions for seafarers. A compar- ative analysis shows that despite the insularity of the shipping forecast as a cultural phenomenon, the “literature of the shipping forecast” is surprisingly similar in dif- ferent countries, exploring the same themes of nostalgia, loss of signification and definition of borders. The essay also investigates how the shipping forecast inevitably evokes questions of territorial conquest and exclusion of others, and how its literary adaptations tend to bracket the natural phenomena that are the very raison d’être of the shipping forecast. The shipping forecast is a curious radio broadcast. Issuing gale warnings for seafarers and communicating weather information from coastal stations, it is reminiscent of a time when reliable and up- to- date weather reports were avail- able only through radio. Nowadays, professional mariners as well as pleasure boaters get the necessary weather information through modern wireless tech- nologies, and the shipping forecast has become a relic in the radio’s programme schedule. Most of the avid listeners to the radio’s shipping forecast do not need the information it conveys: they are safely situated inland, far away from the rough seas and gushing winds.
