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.
POWER REACTORS 45 tells about the experiences with fuel handling, sodium components, and reactor operation. A brief history includes EBR-I and the potential of fast breeder reactors in the nuclear power economy. FAST REACTOR PROGRAM (1958). 36 minutes, color. Produced by USAEC's Argonne National Laboratory. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, at $117.68 per print, including ship- ping case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters, field libraries, and Argonne National Lab., 9700 South Cass Ave., Argonne, 111. Cleared for television. This technical film is an abstract of some major features of the fast reactor program in the areas of reactor performance, safety and reliability, system components, and fuel-cycle developments. GAS COOLED REACTOR EXPERIMENT (1960). 39 minutes, color. Produced through USAEC's Idaho Operations Office by Lookout Mountain Air Force Station for the USAEC and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. For sale by Lookout Mountain Air Force Station, at $132.96 per print, including shipping case. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries. Cleared for television. This film describes the design, development, component fabrication, assembly, testing, and initial criticality of the first direct- and closed- cycle gas-cooled reactor—the GCRE-I—pointing toward the develop- ment of the first U. S. mobile nuclear power plant. This film, among the first to stress the engineering aspects of developing a new reactor concept, tells its story through a series of interviews on the site with some of the industrial and government personnel responsible for the GCRE-I from initial concept to completion. HALLAM NUCLEAR POWER FACILITY (1963). 20 minutes, color. Produced by USAEC's Chicago Operations Office. For sale by the Calvin Productions, at $63.36 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Kansas City. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries. Cleared for television. This film shows the setting and location of the reactor built jointly by USAEC and the Consumers' Public Power District of Nebraska. An explanation of this type of reactor, using a liquid metal coolant, is given stressing its advantages. The working of the plant is shown in animation. Live footage shows construction of the reactor containment vessel, its transportation from Philadelphia to Hallam, moderator fabrication and installation, installation and operation of safety rods, use of an intermediate heat exchanger, installation of steam piping, and the installation of the turbine and generator. Also shown are fuel handling, cleaning and storage cells, fuel fabrication, and testing.
