NUCLEAR REACTORS AND POWER 25 This film explains the basic design of the small homogeneous water- boiler reactor type and describes the components and the various steps in the construction of a small homogeneous reactor. Operation of the reactor is described, and research uses are illustrated. THE PIQUA NUCLEAR POWER FACILITY (1963). 23 minutes, color. Produced by the USAEC's Chicago Operations Office. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, at $64.18 per print, including ship- ping case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. The Piqua Nuclear Power Facility is the first municipally owned power plant using steam produced by a USAEC nuclear reactor. This film gives an animated explanation of Piqua's reactor — an organic moderated reactor — and compares it with the liquid metal sodium graphite type reactor at Hallam, Nebraska, and the pressurized water reactor at Shippingport, Pa. Live action footage of the Organic Mod- erated Reactor Experiment at the National Reactor Test Station in Idaho is shown, as well as of the design and construction of the Piqua facility. PM-1 NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (1962). 20 minutes, color. Produced by the Nuclear Division, Martin Company. For sale by the Calvin Productions, at $55.28 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Kansas City. A filmed story of the PM-1 nuclear power plant (a pressurized water system), a joint project of the USAEC and the U. S. Air Force, which supplies the power for the radar and space heating of a remote Air Defense Command radar station in Wyoming. The film breaks down the types and contents of 16 air transportable packages, a total weight of about 30,000 pounds: reactor, steam generator, waste tank, heat- transfer apparatus, control room, turbogenerator, etc. Details are given on major components and the design and operation of the system by information on: 741 nuclear fuel tubes in 7 fuel bundles, the "flow" of primary water, the secondary water, details on the makeup of the fuel element tubes, criticality testing, nature of the control rods, tests to determine heat transfer and flow characteristics. The film recounts the airlift of the packages, erection and assembly of the power plant, the work to achieve criticality, and the varied safety controls. PM-3A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT — ANTARCTICA (1963). 20 min- utes, color. Produced by the Martin Company for the USAEC. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, at $64.11 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. This is the semitechnical film-story of the 1500-kilowatt nuclear power station built, under contract to USAEC, for operation by the Navy at McMurdo Station, Antarctic headquarters for the joint Navy —
