We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
24 NUCLEAR REACTORS AND POWER actor plant, the ML-1. An explanation of the design of this gas-cooled, water-moderated reactor is given. Development of the reactor at the USAEC's National Reactor Testing Station, Idaho, is shown. The design and testing of the turbomachinery takes place at the Army Engineer Research and Development Laboratory at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. The film also covers the training of the operating crews, assembly of the ML-1, checkout and test run, testing of the transportability of the system using mock-ups, simulated transportation of the ML-1 to the field and its start-up and criticality. THE NEW POWER (Revised Version, 1965). 45 minutes, color. Produced for the USAEC's Idaho Operations Office, and for sale by, Lookout Mountain Air Force Station, USAF, at about $150.00 per print, including shipping case. This nontechnical film, for all audience levels, tells how the National Reactor Testing Station in Idaho is furthering the USAEC's quest for economic nuclear power. Most of the more than 40 experimental nu- clear reactors built, being built, or planned there are described either historically or currently, including the Navy's prototypes for the sub- marine Nautilus and aircraft carrier Enterprise; the internationally known testing reactor complex (MTR, ETR, ATR); the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant, the Army's mobile low power nuclear plant (ML-1); and the importance of breeding nuclear fuel as authorized by the two Experimental Breeder Reactor complexes, EBR-I and EBR-II. Also discussed are the USAEC's leading reactor safety programs — SPERT and STEP (Special Power Excursion Reactor Test and Safety Test Engineering Program). The film also explains the basic principles of power reactor construction and operation in an animated sequence that is also available as a separate film titled, "Basic Principles of Power Reactor Operation." NUCLEAR ENERGY GOES RURAL (1963). U l / 2 minutes, color. Produced by USAEC's Chicago Operations Office. For sale by Anthony Lane Studios, at $57.00 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Minneapolis. This film presents the background, planning, and construction of the Elk River Reactor for Minnesota's Rural Cooperative Power Associa- tion. After the rural background and setting are established, the plan- ning of the reactor is shown. Animation is used to explain the principle of the boiling water reactor with conventional superheated steam. A comparison is made with the hot air heating system used in the home, and the reactor's control rods are compared with a thermostat. The reactor control room is shown. A "Scram" is explained. Fuel opera- tions are also explained, as well as the air monitoring system. NUCLEAR REACTORS FOR RESEARCH (1955). 15 minutes, color. Produced by Atomics International. Not for sale.
