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.
RESEARCH AND TEST REACTORS 55 English, French, Spanish, or Russian, at $25.48 per print, in- cluding shipping case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. English version for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries. Cleared for television. This technical film uses animation to show precisely how the USAEC's 250 Mw(t) Advanced Test Reactor design utilizes multiple flux traps to achieve exceptionally high neutron density in nine independent test loop positions. It describes the clover leaf, enriched fuel annulus that cir- cumscribes the nine flux trap test positions, and the moving control components which vary flux and power in each test position. ATR was designed by Ebasco Services, Inc., as prime contractor, with Babcock & Wilcox Co. as nuclear subcontractors. Phillips Petroleum Co. pre- pared the conceptual design, and will operate the reactor. THE ARGONAUT (1957). 15V 2 minutes, color. Produced by USAEC's Argonne National Laboratory. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, at $52.42 per print, including ship- ping case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters, field libraries, and Argonne National Laboratory, 9700 South Cass Ave., Argonne, 111. Cleared for television. The Argonaut (Argonne's Nuclear Assembly for University Training) is a low-power training-research reactor. This semitechnical film out- lines the need for such a reactor in the USAEC's program and its ap- plications to the International School of Nuclear Science and Engineer- ing at Argonne. The design features, operation, and some of the many applications are described. ARGONNE FAST SOURCE REACTOR (1960). 9 minutes, color. Produced by USAEC's Argonne National Laboratory. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, at $24.68 per print, including ship- ping case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. Available for loan (free) from the USAEC field libraries and Argonne National Labora- tory, 9700 South Cass Ave., Argonne, 111. Cleared for television. The Fast Source Reactor is a laboratory source of neutrons — not an experimental reactor — with a power level of 1000 watts. The film describes the reactor assembly and its usefulness as a readily avail- able source of neutrons in a wide range of flux levels and flux spectra. The reactor was designed and built by ANL's Idaho Division at the USAEC's National Reactor Testing Station, Idaho. By animation and live action, information is given on the core and its positioning, two methods of changing reactivity, the cooling system, the thermal column, and the various access-beam holes. Its uses include the fol- lowing: beams to test neutron spectrometers and checking complex instrumentation prior to use in operating reactors.
