PAST OPERATIONS
Beryllium brought in facility: No
Form of beryllium: N/A
Period of beryllium operations (dates): Start: 1973 End: 1973
Location(s) in facility that contained beryllium materials: Potential beryllium contamination in the small animal quarters was investigated in 1973.
Description of beryllium activities: Rats were exposed to beryllium oxide dust in the 331 Building in 1973 and subsequently transferred to the 1713-F Building for observation. No additional information to implicate the potential presence of beryllium was identified.
