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.
36 PHYSICAL RESEARCH seal roots, diffusion, and getter-ion types); mechanical and non- mechanical vacuum gauges and their principles of operation (McLeod mercury, thermocouple, and ionization); and typical examples of appli- cations of high-vacuum techniques in product manufacture and in scientific research (freeze-drying process, thin-film-evaporation pro- cess, and thermonuclear experiments). THE MANY FACES OF ARGONNE (1963). 60 minutes, color. Produced by USAEC's Argonne National Laboratory. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, at $176.10 per print, including double-shipping-case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters, field libraries, and from Argonne National Laboratory, 9700 South Cass Ave., Argonne, 111. 60440. Cleared for television. Although the film is about Argonne National Laboratory, it will be useful to both technical and nontechnical audiences who wish an interesting survey of the objectives, methods, and hardware of the broad range of nuclear research conducted by a typical national laboratory of the USAEC. With both artistry and clarity, the ANL narrator shows us CP-5 and the range of work accomplished with this powerful research reactor. In an ANL chemistry laboratory, we see investigation of atomic forces with "color center" studies of the structure of crystals. Information is given on methods of protecting atomic scientists from radiation: film badges and dosimeters; the checking of air, water, walls, dust; and the remote-control devices involving periscopes and television in order to see and work despite massive shielding. Argonne's efforts in the power reactor field are summarized, using the Experimental Breeder Reactor-H as an example, with detailed explanation of its components, purposes, methods, etc. Experiments to learn the effects of radiation on human beings are explained—studies of the effects of radiation received continually over a lifetime (bone-tumor studies); studies of the mutation-producing effects of radiation (fruitfly studies, work with dogs, etc.); studies of neonatal death rates; life-span studies; studies of leukemia; effects of radiation on cells, etc. The film shows in detail the giant Zero Gradient Synchrotron accelerator — or "atom-smasher"—used to tear apart subatomic particles to study the basic nature of matter. Argonne's relationship to American universities is outlined with views of the training of foreign students. NEUTRON ACTIVATION (A Geneva-1964 film). 8 minutes, color. Produced by USAEC's Argonne National Laboratory from film footage made by General Atomic, Division of General Dynamics. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, in English, French, Spanish,
