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.
56 THE MAGIC OF THE ATOM SERIES tests can improve crops by pointing to most efficient use of fertilizers. ATOMIC METALLURGY (1955). Shows development, testing, and use of new metals needed to withstand powerful radiation and unprecedented heat produced by nuclear reactions. Includes work at Knolls, Argonne, Han- ford, and New Brunswick. THE ATOMIC PHARMACY (1954). Describes the storage and handling of radioisotopes, and illus- trates remote-control devices for safe manipulation of radioac- tive liquids. Explains use of radioisotopes in hospitals, research laboratories, and industrial facilities. ATOMIC POWER PRODUCTION (1964). 14 minutes, color and black and white. Available in color at $150.00 per print, and in black and white at $75.00 per print. Opening with an explanation of the growing demand for electrical power, produced today primarily through hydro-electric means and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, gas, and oil), the film tells of the need for har- nessing nuclear energy. With animation, an explanation is given of how the heat created by the controlled chain reaction of atomic fuel in a reactor is converted to electrical power. Several types of power reac- tors and their basic differences are discussed: the boiling water reac- tor, the pressurized water reactor, one using a liquid sodium coolant, and one using an organic coolant. The principle of the "breeder" reac- tor is explained and its importance stressed. The film also discusses the care and safety of design, construction, maintenance and operation of atomic power plants. THE ATOMIC ZOO (1954). Shows experiments with sheep, fowl, and fish to determine how radioactivity affects basic food products. ATOMS FOR HEALTH (1956). Illustrates two methods of diagnosis and treatment possible with radiations: a new diagnostic test of the liver, and cancer therapy with a new radioactive cobalt device, the "Theratron." Presents the case histories step by step. THE ETERNAL CYCLE (1954). Illustrates use of radioisotope tracers in biological research. Includes study of iron absorption by the blood cells; use of sug- ars by the body; and biological cycling studies in which "tagged"
