description

Summary

Significance: Building 232-Z, a waste incinerator facility, was constructed to recover plutonium from miscellaneous solid wastes produced by the adjacent Plutonium Finishing Plant (PFP), the Plutonium Isolation Facility and the REDOX and PUREX plants in the 200 Areas on the Hanford Site. Known officially as the Contaminated Waste Recovery Process Facility, the 232-Z incinerator was determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places because it was a prototype for the incineration of contaminated wastes. 232-Z was unique for its equipment design and first-of-a-kind method of automating and executing the incineration of plutonium-bearing wastes. From 1961 to its closure in 1972, 232-Z recovered significant amounts of plutonium through the incineration of contaminated combustible scrap material.

Three-inch A.A. cartridge cases. Cartridge cases for three-inch antiaircraft shells are produced by a series of operations that transform a flat brass disc into a case ready for loading with propelling charge and shell. Between each operation there is careful washing to remove all scale and adhesion and to leave surfaces clean for later processing. The big Midwest plant doing the work is well equipped to handle it in stride

Production. Tin smelting. "Bars" of pure tin are trimmed and cleaned before removal from the molds in which they were formed in a Southern smelter. All the trimmings are returned to the "pot boilers" for remelting. The plant, finest and most modern in the world, extracts the pure metal from South American ore

Conversion. Toy factory. Stephanie Cewe and Ann Manemeit, have turned their skill from peacetime production of toy trains to the assembly of parachute flare casings for the armies of democracy. Along with other workers in this Eastern plant, they have turned their skill to the vital needs of the day, and in many cases have seen to it that the machinery they used to use does Uncle Sam's most important work today. Here, they are assembling parachute flare casings, using the same electric screwdrivers they formerly used to assemble the locomotives of toy trains. A. C. Gilbert Company, New Haven, Connecticut
