32 NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND TESTING This nontechnical film, for high school through college-level audi- ences, describes the design, construction and use of SLAC, the new Stanford Linear Accelerator. A comparison is made of the various methods man uses to "see" particles of smaller and smaller dimen- sion—using the magnifying glass, the microscope, the electron mi- croscope, and the electron linear accelerator. Some historical back- ground is given on the development of the linear accelerator. Scientists and engineers involved in the SLAC project discuss the theory of its operation and some of the problems related to building and operating this huge instrument to explore the structure of the atom and discover new particles. The fabrication of the 2-mile long copper tube, with a bore of only one inch in diameter, through which atomic particles will be fired, is shown and explained in some detail. The high power radio tubes, called klystrons, which are used to project electrons down the tube at tremendous velocities, are shown being fabricated, set into the accelerator, and tested. The plans and construction of the housing of SLAC are shown and discussed from both the architectural and safety standpoints.

BIKINI RADIOBIOLOGICAL LABORATORY See page 11 ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING AT SANDIA (1964). 28 minutes, color. Produced by the Sandia Corporation for the USAEC. For sale by Calvin Productions, at $73.07 per print including shipping case, F.O.B. Kansas City, Mo. This semitechnical motion picture discusses the environments, both natural and induced, which weapon components and systems may ex- perience between manufacture and use. The film shows how environ- mental testing is used to ensure reliability. A series of test sequences enables the audience to see some of the facilities at USAEC's Sandia Laboratory — giant centrifuge, electrodynamic shaker, rocker sled, air
