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.
POWER REACTORS 43 system onto a boiling-water type reactor. Electricity produced from "Borax" was used for an hour on July 17, 1955, to light and power Arco, Idaho, the first U. S. community to be lighted exclusively on a city-wide basis by nuclear power. The picture shows the construction and operation of the reactor power plant and the lighting of Arco. CONSTRUCTION OF THE EXPERIMENTAL BOILING WATER REACN TOR (1957). 10 minutes, black and white. Produced by USAEC's Argonne National Laboratory. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, at $12.10 per print, including ship- ping case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters, field libraries, and Argonne Na- tional Lab., 9700 South Cass Ave., Argonne, 111. Cleared for television. The Experimental Boiling Water Reactor (EBWR), an experimental nuclear power plant of 5000-kw electrical capacity, was the first of the reactors in the USAEC's nuclear power development program to be completed. This Semitechnical documentary film describes highlights of construction of the EBWR buildings, particularly the containment shell for the power plant. The erection of the steel shell, special concrete work, and installation of equipment, including the reactor pressure vessel, are shown. The requirements for various structural components are described. DEVELOPING HOMOGENEOUS REACTORS (1955). 23 minutes, black and white. Produced by USAEC's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

This film depicts some of the most important stages in the develop- ment, construction, operation, and dismantling of Homogeneous Reac- tor Experiment No. 1 (HRE-1), which was designed to operate at 1000 kw. Testing of the most important reactor features is shown, along with the most important steps in assembling the reactor. Operation of the reactor is pictured. The film closes with scenes of the reactor being disassembled to make room for HRE-2. DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION (1958). 15 minutes, color.
