1966-67 NEW FILMS 95 review by the AEC's Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards and, finally, a public hearing conducted by an AEC Atomic Safety and Licensing Board. With the approval of the Board and the AEC, construction begins. We see the components of the reactor and associated equipment begin to take shape. Finally, as we see the completed structure, we learn that special operating teams are trained and licensed, and that another AEC review is necessary before an operating license is granted the utility. Further safety considerations are explored, showing some of the relevant equipment and systems. We learn why it is impossible for a nuclear reactor to blow up like an atomic bomb. The main safety consideration is in maintain- ing the isolation of the radioactive fission products formed during normal operation. We learn that 99.99 percent of these ashes remain tightly locked within the fuel, and the fuel is removed about once a year from the plant site. The film also deals with handling of wastes and controlled release of material to the environment on a planned basis, according to Federal Safety Regulations. When the plant finally goes "on the line," it joins other atomic power plants across the nation providing dependable electricity for our many needs. We see a sampling of these plants and the communities they serve, demonstrating that atomic power is here today, providing for our present and future electrical power needs.
