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 fabrication and testing of major reactor components for the Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE) are shown in this technical film. (The SRE incorporates a 20,000-kw(t) reactor having the basic design features of a central-station sodium graphite reactor. The goals of this program are to study and improve technology associated with the sodium graph- ite type of nuclear reactors and to demonstrate the technical feasibility of this approach to economical nuclear power.) A brief animated section shows some of the engineering features and describes the basic layout of the reactor and associated facilities. Detailed informa- tion is presented on fuel-element fabrication and testing, grid-plate fabrication, control-rod system testing, core-tank fabrication, thermal- shield-ring fabrication, top plug fabrication, sodium pump inspection, heat-exchanger and coolant-piping inspection, and fuel-handling system checkout.
