Children watch a model of the structure of an atom and animation depict basics of atomic structure in Canada.

A film about the structure of atom and the use of radioactive isotopes in treatment of cancer in Canada. Animation depicts: An atom resembles a minute solar system. The heart of the atom is the nucleus. Children approach an educational display with large sign "The Atom. U-235. What's next?" Group of boys gather under the sign and look up at the display. Children watch a model of the structure of an atom and animation is shown describing the density and number of atoms in a dot of ink. Splitting nucleus with a neutron to get atomic energy. A chain reaction when a uranium atom is split giving out heat and radiation.

Small pieces of film are checked for radiation and isotopes are used to detect cancer in Canada.

A film about the structure of atom and use of radioactive isotopes in cancer treatment in Canada. Small pieces of film sensitive to radioactivity and worn by all employees are checked for radiation in density meter. An employee affected by radiation is fingerprinted. Isotopes are carried into a vault and checked. Equipment being examined with a radio isotope to check for radiation. Isotopes being chemically refined in a laboratory. The isotopes arrive at a cancer hospital in an aircraft. They are unpacked. An instrument that picks up signals from the isotope enables doctors to tell where the isotope is concentrated thus locating cancer. A doctor checks a patient. Each impulse of radiation is amplified as clicking sounds on a clock. A child talks to a man. Atomic scientists at work in laboratories. A worker carries a piece of a radio active material suspended from a rod.
