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.
THE MAGIC OF THE ATOM SERIES 53 WORKING WITH RADIATION (1962). When properly handled in the laboratory, radioactive materials constitute little danger. This film shows precautions used in working with radiation as well as research effort being made to gain more knowledge about handling radiation. "Hot caves" (ra- diation chambers) using remote-control mechanical manipula- tors, caves using electronic type manipulators, and giant caves using heavy-duty manipulators illustrate the safety methods mentioned. Methods used to dispose of radioactive waste ma- terials are also shown. THE MAGIC OF THE ATOM Series. This non-technical series was produced by, and is for sale by, The Handel Film Corporation. Most of the films in the series are 12^/2 minutes, black and white, and for sale at $65.00, except where indicated.

C. 20545, will arrange for television clearance, on request. THE ATOM AND THE DOCTOR (1954). Shows three applications of radioisotopes in medicine; testing for leukemia and other blood disorders with radioiron; diagnosis of thyroid conditions with radioiodine "cocktails," and cancer re- search and therapy with radiogallium. THE ATOM AND THE WEATHER (1956). Shows weather installations used at atomic energy plants to protect residents of neighboring communities; how colored smoke is used at Brookhaven to verify safe wind patterns be- fore radioactive stack gases are released to the atmosphere; why nuclear test explosions have no effect on the weather; how patterns of radioactive fallout from tests are predicted and traced to protect the public; and how radioactivity serves as a tool in meteorological research. THE ATOM IN INDUSTRY (1954). Describes conversion of nuclear heat to electricity; heat-transfer experiments; use of radiation sources in thickness gauging, and in "X-ray" inspection of casting flaws. Suggests other industrial uses. THE ATOM IN THE HOSPITAL (1961). Also available in color at $130.00 per print.
