Mr. Miller-Jones introduces this program on the dangers of radioactive fallout, the third in a series of exchanges between Baltimore, Maryland's station WAAM and Great Britain's BBC. Dr. Kruse explains that current incineration of radioactive waste could be detrimental to people's health if safe gas and ash levels are exceeded. Dr. Geyer and Mr. Talboys discuss the effectiveness of laundering of radium-tainted clothing. To improve removal of radioactive materials from clothing, combinations of several variables must be considered: isotopes, fabrics (fiber, weave, treatment), detergents, concentrations, water temperatures, agitation degree, and time. Dr. Renn then examines the problems of releasing radioactive waste into sewage treatment plants. Some waste, such as radiophosphorous, is easily absorbed by bacteria in the system; others could be captured by experimental trickling filters or the aerated sludge process, but the sludge must then be disposed.

After an introduction by Sir Roger Makins, British ambassador, British TV producer and moderator Andrew Miller Jones discusses the association between Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and Guy's Hospital in London. A film describes each of these teaching hospitals and how they have been connected through exchange of information, ideas, and faculty since 1946. Two of Johns Hopkins Hospital's recent developments are demonstrated by faculty: Dr. Francis Schwentker's humidified oxygen tent, and Dr. Russell Morgan's televised x-rays. Detlev W. Bronk, president of the Johns Hopkins University delivered an address on Anglo-American cooperation in the many fields of scientific research. Part title from label.

Introduced by American ambassador to Great Britain, Walter Gifford, this is the first British television program recorded and broadcast in the United States. A history of television in Britain follows, from the father of British TV John Logie Baird to the present where television signals are carried throughout the country by cables and radio links to broadcast towers from London to Scotland. A brief film of an early British television program originally broadcast in 1936 with the singer Sylvia Peters and ballerina Margot Fonteyn is shown. This is the first of three broadcasts originating in Great Britain about developments in British science, and is the only one known to still be in existence.
