MEHORAIDUM FOR: The TURS File SUBJECT Delivery of Health Hazard Radioneter

r A 1. The Health Hazard Microwave Radiometey developed by ari
oawas delivered to the Depertment of Stete for transshipnent by pouch to lioscow early in March l967. Upon arriva1 it was found that the instrument had been broken in transit end was returned for repair or replacement. The
broken instrument was delivered to rga on 29 March 1957. It was found that the leads to the Globe Gensor had broken or vibrated loose during transA shipment and that there was some unspecified injury tc the globe sensor itself. A new sensor was constructed by akr&end installed Y
on 28 April 1967. The instrument was bench testeá byfrom 28 April through 2 May l967 during which time the instrunent finished out-gasing and became stabilized. On the evening of 3 May l967 the instruzent was taken to Walter-Reed where it was calibrated on the Walter-Reed Range (anechoic chamber) using the generator and output tube and radiometers employed in prcject PANDoA. During this calibration check-out it was found that the instrument itself performed quite well indeed according to meesurements noted on the diel meter. The strip chart meter was found to be defective and could not be repaired at this tise. Because the instrunent itself was working so well and the diel meter appeared stable and accurate the instrument was delivered to State for immediate trans
shipment to Moscow because of time restrictions on opportunities for making meaningful power density recoräings. Meanwhile a spare strip chart meter was imuediately ordered along with a spare sensor unit. It is expected thet these will be ready for delivery to State in about one week from now.
