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.
ATOMIC ENERGY PRINCIPLES A BREEDER IN THE DESERT (Challenge Series) . . . See page 49 CONTROLLING ATOMIC ENERGY (1961). ISVi minutes, color. Produced by, and for sale by, United World Films, at $135.00 per print, including shipping case. NOT cleared for television. A basic teaching film (which uses the conversation of a young student and a scientist who is writing a book about atomic energy) summariz- ing, briefly, by live action and animation, the following: what is an atom; radioactive atoms; measuring radioactivity; uranium; nuclear fission; the chain reaction; the controlled chain reaction in reactors; how reactors are used for production of electricity for power and propulsion; and the production of radioisotopes for applications in biology, medical diagnosis and therapy, agriculture, industry, and research. (For students in the 5th to 8th grades.) FOUNDATIONS FOR THE FUTURE (Challenge Series) See page 50 THE FUEL OF THE FUTURE (Challenge Series) ... See page 50 INTRODUCING ATOMS AND NUCLEAR ENERGY (1963). 11 minutes, black ana white or color. Produced by, and for sale by, Coronet Instructional Films, at $60.00 per print in black and white, and $121.50 in color, in- cluding shipping case. NOT cleared for television. Although this teaching film — explaining the general structure of the atom and showing how changes in the nucleus may produce energy used by man—was prepared for intermediate grades and junior high school use it will also be useful for lay-level adult audiences that wish a basic, concise primer on the subject. The film discusses: the com- position of atoms—protons and electrons; how the nucleus releases the energy of the atom by losing particles (decomposition); nuclear fission, chain reaction and nuclear reactors; nuclear fusion in the sun; and, very briefly, the uses of nuclear energy. (Suitable for students from the 4th through 9th grades.) INVISIBLE BULLETS (Challenge Series) See page 51 MICROSCOPE FOR THE UNKNOWN (Challenge Series) .
