NUCLEAR REACTORS AND POWER 23 system, and the operating of the nuclear power plant to light and power Arco, Idaho, the U. S. community first served exclusively by nuclear power, for an hour on July 17, 1955. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF POWER REACTORS (1962). 8!/ 2 minutes, color. Produced by, and for sale by, Lookout Mountain Air Force Station, USAF, at $39.51 per print, including shipping case. This film is an excerpt from the 35-min Commission film entitled "The New Power," produced by the USAEC's Idaho Operations Office. This animated film, produced to facilitate the under standing of nuclear- power reactors and how they produce steam for the generation of elec- tricity, briefly describes fission, controlled chain reaction, and the function of basic reactor components (e.g., core, reactor vessel, shield- ing, moderators, coolants, and control rods). The boiling-water and pressurized-water reactor concepts are explained. Various types of fuel elements are described, such as rods, plates, and pellets. (Non- technical: suitable for all audience levels above elementary school.) A BREEDER IN THE DESERT (Challenge Series) ... See page 49 THE FUEL OF THE FUTURE (Challenge Series) ...

For sale by the Calvin Productions, at $63.36 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Kansas City. This film shows the setting and location of the reactor built jointly by USAEC and the Consumers' Public Power District of Nebraska. An ex- planation of this type of reactor, using a liquid metal coolant, is given stressing its advantages. The working of the plant is shown in anima- tion. Live footage shows construction of the reactor containment ves- sel, its transportation from Philadelphia to Hallam, moderator fabrica- tion and installation, installation and operation of safety rods, use of an intermediate heat exchanger, installation of steam piping and the installation of the turbine and generator. Also shown is fuel handling, cleaning and storage cells, fuel fabrication, and testing. ML-1 MOBILE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (1963). 26 minutes, color. Produced for the U. S. Army and the USAEC (under the tech- nical direction of the Idaho Operations Office) by Lookout Moun- tain Air Force Station, USAF. For sale by the producer, at $99.15 per single print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Hollywood. This semitechnical film states the Army's logistical need for mobile power, and shows how that need is partially filled by the design, con- struction, testing and field operation of a new transportable power re-
