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.
68 SAFETY, WASTE DISPOSAL, AND MONITORING Produced by USAEC's Argonne National Laboratory. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, in English, French, Spanish, or Russian, at $44.49 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 shows that conservative design is characteristic of nuclear power reactors, with elaborate safeguards to prevent the improbable accident. It points out that through reactor safety research the mechanisms of abnormal behavior, fission product release, chemi- cal reactions, containment, and vapor cleanup systems are better defined, providing a basis for improvement in design features and reduction of costs. REMOTE REPAIR AND MODIFICATION OF THE HRE-2 CORE VESSEL See page 52 RESEARCH REACTOR SAFETY DEVICE (1958). 12i/ 2 minutes, color. Produced by Atomics International for the USAEC. For sale by Capital Film Laboratories, at $39.90 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries, and Atomics International, P. O. Box 309, Canoga Park, California. Cleared for television. As a significant step in reactor safety work, Atomics International has designed, built, and successfully tested a reactor safety "fuse," as part of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission's reactor safety program. The device, designed to provide absolute protection by shutting down "pool" type reactors without the use of external controls, automatically and almost instantaneously shuts down research reactors if an abnormal operating condition occurs. SAFETY EXPERIMENTS WITH A BOILING REACTOR" (1955). 19V 2 minutes, black and white. Produced by USAEC's Argonne National Laboratory. For sale from Colburn Laboratory, at $50.00 per print, including ship- ping case, F.O.B. Chicago, 111. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters, field libraries, and Argonne National Laboratory, 9700 South Cass Ave., Argonne, 111. Cleared for television. This film records a series of safety experiments with a prototype boiling-water reactor, consisting of a pressure vessel containing an assembly of uranium-bearing plates submerged in water, plus a con- trol mechanism. The film shows a number of reactor excursions, some of which expel the water from the reactor; the last experiment shows the deliberate destruction of the reactor assembly, when the reactor is allowed to "run away."
