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.
FUELS. PROCESSING, AND METALLURGY 23 Produced by the Hanford Atomic Products Operation, General Electric Company, as contractor for the USAEC at the Hanford Works, Richland, Washington. For sale by Byron Motion Pic- tures, at $37.87 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. The Materials Testing Reactor (MTR) at USAEC's National Reactor Testing Station, Idaho, has been operated utilizing plutonium as the entire fissionable fuel charge. This technical film details the fabrica- tion of this charge in the plutonium metallurgy laboratories of USAEC's Hanford Works, Richland, Washington. Aluminum-15 wt.% plutonium alloy was cast, hot forged, and roll-clad with aluminum for assembly into 18 plate fuel elements. These elements were used successfully at a power of 30 Mw(t) in the MTR to demonstrate for the first time the operation of a thermal reactor fueled with plutonium. PLUTONIUM METAL PREPARATION (1958). 12 minutes, black and white. Produced by USAEC's Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, at $12.21 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters, field libraries, and Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87115. Cleared for television. This technical film shows the process and equipment designed and used at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in converting plutonium from a nitrate solution to elemental metal. Because of serious health hazards, plutonium is processed in airtight compartments, with equip- ment operated entirely by remote control. The isolated plutonium is used for metallurgical and pyrometallurgical research, for fuel alloy development, and for reactor and critical assembly elements. PLUTONIUM RECYCLE (A Geneva-1964 film). 17 minutes, color. Produced by USAEC's Argonne National Laboratory. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, in English, French, Spanish, or Russian, at $50.91 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. English version available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries. Cleared for television. This technical film explains that the nuclear-economic advantages of plutonium depend upon the performance of multiple recycle. Various aspects of the development for both thermal and fast reactors are presented, with particular emphasis on the fuel element technology, reactor use, and chemical reprocessing associated with mixed oxides of plutonium and uranium in thermal reactors.
