POWER REACTORS 41 Produced by USAEC's Argonne National Laboratory. For sale from the Calvin Company, at $16.86 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Kansas City. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries. Cleared for television. This technical film shows how chemists at Argonne National Labo- ratory have succeeded in making xenon combine chemically with fluorine—the first combination of xenon and one other element, a chemical reaction previously thought to be impossible — which has opened up a new area for the study of chemical bonding. The film shows the preparation of the compound in the laboratory under special conditions of temperature and pressure. The ingredients are sealed in a glass vacuum tube and first heated to 400°C for one hour, then cooled rapidly to room temperature. Crystals of xenon tetrafluoride—the new compound — grow before your eyes. Tests to substantiate the exact nature of the compound are illustrated, and future experiments on forming compounds with rare gases are discussed. POWER REACTORS ATOMIC POWER AT SHIPPINGPQRT (1958). 30 minutes, color. Produced by Audio Productions, New York, for the Westinghouse Electric Corp. For sale by Consolidated Film Industries, at $94.51 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Los Angeles. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries. NOT cleared for television. This film describes the first full-scale nuclear power plant designed exclusively for generation of electricity for civilian use. Located at Shippingport, Pa., this power plant (of the pressurized water type) is unique because of its developmental nature. Its primary objective is to advance reactor technology and to obtain information on nuclear power plants that would be readily operable in a conventional electric utility network. The film shows design problems and how they were solved, construction and operation details, methods of cycling the light water coolant, fabrication, and characteristics and placement of fuel elements. ATOMIC VENTURE (1961). 23% minutes, color. Produced by, and for sale by, the General Electric Company. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries. Cleared for television. This semitechnical film, which is a sequel to the 1958 film entitled "Dresden Nuclear Power Station" (in this catalog), covers the design and development of a large dual-cycle boiling-water reactor—the 180,000-kw Dresden Nuclear Power Station—built by General Electric Company (GE) for the Commonwealth Edison Company, Chicago, and the Nuclear Power Group, Inc., and the history of the project from its
