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.
NUCLEAR RESEARCH 27 procurement of water supplies; installation of insulated piping and sewage lines; and how the men eat and sleep. Also shown are the dig- ging of four deep trenches for the nuclear power plant, the construc- tion of the frame for the reactor buildings, arrival of the power plant (400 tons of piping, machinery, and components) by sea, delivery of the heavy components (including a 21-ton vapor container) by sled over the ice cap, unloading of the power plant, opening of labeled boxes of piping and wiring, reassembly of major components, and movement of the 15-ton condenser into the tunnel. The power plant is described, and the assembly of the shells to contain the nuclear section, the work to activate the power plant, the subcritical tests, the careful loading of the reactor core with fuel elements after in- spection and cleaning, the gradual activation of the reactor, and the achievement of criticality are shown. Today, powered by its nuclear reactor, the Arctic research center is in full operation. (Nontechnical: suitable for high school and above.) TESTING FOR TOMORROW (Challenge Series) ... See page 52 TOMORROW'S POWER —TODAY (1964). 5V 2 minutes, color. Produced for USAEC by Argonne National Laboratory. For sale by Geo. W. Colburn Laboratory, at $15.84 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Chicago. This nontechnical film, for all audience levels, briefly explains the principle of atomic power production, states the need for its continued development while showing that it is already in use in many locations across the country. The film explains why the energy of the atom is needed to supplement that of conventional fossil fuels. Animation is used to explain how nuclear fission creates heat and how that heat is converted to electrical power. A comparison is given between the energy released from the uranium atom and coal, gas, and oil. The film concludes with a brief survey of representative atomic power plants in the United States, noting location and kilowatts of electrical power.
