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.

30 NUCLEAR RESEARCH This film is a concise summary, for the informed layman, of the United States Sherwood Program, for research into controlled nuclear fusion. It shows various operating experimental devices, explains their prin- ciples and the many complex problems involved in possible future de- velopment of full-scale machines to create unlimited industrial power by controlling a continuous fusion process at millions of degrees of temperature. THE MANY FACES OF ARGONNE (1963). 60 minutes, color. Produced by USAEC'S Argonne National Laboratory. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, at $176.10 per print, including double-shipping-case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. Also available for free loan from Argonne National Laboratory, 9700 South Cass Ave., Argonne, Illinois 60440. Although the film is about Argonne National Laboratory, it will be useful to both technical and nontechnical audiences who wish an in- teresting survey of the objectives, methods, and hardware of the broad range of nuclear research conducted by a typical national laboratory of the USAEC. With both artistry and clarity, the ANL narrator shows the CP-5 and the range of work accomplished with this powerful research reactor. In an ANL chemistry laboratory, investigation of atomic forces with "color center" studies of the structure of crystals is shown. Informa- tion is given on methods of protecting atomic scientists from radiation: film badges and dosimeters; the checking of air, water, walls, dust; the remote-control devices involving periscopes and television in order to see and work despite massive shielding. Argonne's efforts in the power reactor field are summarized, using the Experimental Breeder Reactor H as an example, with detailed ex- planation of its components, purposes, methods, etc. Experiments to learn the effects of radiation on human beings are explained—studies of the effects of radiation received continually over a lifetime (bone-tumor studies); studies of the mutation-producing effects of radiation (fruitfly studies, work with dogs, etc.); studies of neonatal rates; life-span studies; studies of leukemia; effects of ra- diation on cells, etc. The film shows in detail the giant Zero Gradient Synchrotron accel- erator—or "atom-smasher"—used to tear apart subatomic particles to study the basic nature of matter. Argonne's relation to American universities is outlined, with views of the training of foreign students. METALS FRONTIER (1961). 22 minutes, color. Produced by Iowa State University Film Production for the Iowa State Institute of Atomic Research and the Ames Laboratory of the USAEC. For sale by Iowa State University, at $75.48 per print, including shipping case.
