96 1966-67 NEW FILMS so are the potential hazards associated with shipping and using them. By evaluating the form of the material and the kind and the quantity of radioactivity, one may deter- mine how the materials are properly packaged for ship- ment. Most radioactive materials are safely shipped by common carrier. The film shows typical shipments enroute: atoms on the move everyday, everywhere by train, truck, aircraft and ship. Varied items are dealt with: ores; atomic fuel for reactors; spent fuel being returned for processing; atomic weapons; radioisotopes for medicine, research and industry; and atomic wastes being shipped for disposal. The film also discusses responsibilities of agencies such as the AEC, the ICC, Bureau of Explosives, Federal Aviation Agency, Coast Guard and state and local offices. Also shown are some aspects of safety research and development designed to limit the consequences of an accident involving these materials. An accident situation and clean-up are shown. We learn that radioactive ma- terials are invaluable tools and products in today's industry and in our daily lives, and how modern transportation moves these materials quickly, quietly, and safely.

This documentary film is a simplified description of high- expansion foam and its characteristics as a fire-fighting agent, particularly with respect to fires involving paper and photographic records in typical open file storage. The film summarizes the result of high-expansion foam tests conducted at the National Reactor Testing Station in August 1965. The tests disclosed that high-expansion foam provides fast, effective, and possibly least damaging means of extinguishing fires involving various kinds of records, including x-ray films, motion picture films and photographic prints. Special problems encountered in using the foam are dealt with in the film, together with various means of coping with such fires.
