FUELS, PROCESSING, AND METALLURGY 21 methods of producing radioisotopes. Live photography and animation tell the story of radioisotopes production at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The remainder of the film explains in semitechni- cal language, the large-scale separation of long-life fission products at ORNL's pilot plant. Animation illustrates in detail the separation of fission products from wastes derived during the processing of spent reactor fuels. METALS FRONTIER (1961). 22 minutes, color. Produced by Iowa State University Film Production for the Iowa State University Institute for Atomic Research and the Ames Laboratory of the USAEC. For sale by Iowa State University, at $75.48 per print, including shipping case. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries and the Visual Instruction Service, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50010. Cleared for television. This semitechnical documentary film, a story of teamwork in research, is designed for an audience with an appreciable degree of scientific sophistication, primarily seniors and graduate students in the physical sciences and engineering. Highlights in tne operations of the Ames Laboratory, a major installation of the U. S. Atomic Energy Com- mission, are shown by illustrating the steps in the development of the process for production of yttrium metal. The film also gives insight into the facilities and the pioneering tradition of Ames Laboratory in the investigation of the rare earths. The film is panoramic in style, showing how basic research, development, and production go along together. Steps in metal processing are shown as follows: separation of yttrium from rare earths, conversion to fluoride, reduction, and arc melting. Special emphasis is given to purity and to the need for careful analytical control. The film also shows how the graduate student fits into the laboratory's research program. MICRODEFORMATION OF URANIUM (1958). 17 minutes, color. Produced by the Hanford Atomic Products Operation, General Electric Company, as contractor for the USAEC at the Hanford Works, Richland, Washington. For sale from Byron Motion Pictures, at $60.93 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. Available for loan (free) from USAEC head- quarters, field libraries, and Hanford Atomic Products Opera- tion at Richland, Washington 99352. Cleared for television. [NOTE: This film is similar to the 22-minute film, "Adventures in Metallurgy," also available on loan from the USAEC but con- tains slightly more technical information.] This technical film, primarily of interest to metallurgists, pictures the changes in the microstructure of uranium as a consequence of tensile loading and thermal treatments — studies accomplished by means of
