Technicians at Los Alamos National Laboratory work with a water boiler reactor and handle nuclear material using robotic arms

A U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Plant at Los Alamos National Laboratory is opened to the public and news cameras to view some processes. Visitors go through the security check at one such plant. Interior of the facility. Scientists and technicians in white lab coats work at a Los Alamos water boiler reactor. A sign is seen that warns of danger and presence of Neutron and Gamma Rays. Technicians use complex and precise remote robot instruments and robotic arm gadgets to handle atomically hot material fresh from the atomic pile. 3 feet of shielding isolates the researchers from the harmful nuclear material. A remote controlled power saw is used to unseal a sample container. Artificial hot specimens of industrial metals are analyzed to determine loss or hardness in the material after nuclear exposure. A slave manipulator transfers the material to a standard hardness tester. The dial reading measures the strength of the metal after exposure. A microscopic view of the specimen. A secuirty guard at the plant door is seen, and then soldiers near an artillery piece that helps to guard the secure United States facility during the Cold War.

Nuclear reactors designed and developed to power spacecraft after numerous tests.

Los Alamos Atomic Energy Commission Scientific Laboratory in New Mexico and mountains in the background. Scientists work with diagrams of nuclear reactors. Different equipment and nuclear rocket designs. Prototype of Nuclear reactor is made. Technicians work with KIWI experimental reactors. Towers and buildings in desert. KIWI reactor is checked in nuclear assembly. Reactor is taken to the testing area on a special rail car. Man works at a remote station to control the car. Liquid hydrogen is pumped into the reactor on rail car from near by storage tanks. Reactor tested on test stand shows flaming torch. Reactor transported for disassembly and inspection on car by remote control. Men use remote control manipulators for inspection. Exhaust gas from other reactor on test stand. Men work on diagrams. Narrator discusses next step as the NERVA program (Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Applications), a combined government and private industry (Aerojet and Westinghouse) effort headed by the Space Nuclear Propulsion Office (SNPO). Animated nuclear rocket shown with NERVA technology, given the letter designation NRX.

Y-12 atomic production facility; Trinity Shot atomic text explosion in the United States; Truman speaks about atomic secrets.

Atomic bomb production and its use in the United States. Doctor Ernest O. Lawrence experiments with the cyclotron at the University of California, Berkeley. View of the exterior and interior of the cyclotron. An animated diagram shows the results of the splitting of the uranium atom. Diagram shows a nucleus, electrons and protons. Atomic structures of Helium, Lithium and Uranium. A diagram of the creation of barium and krypton, and the release of atomic energy. Aerial and ground views of Y-12 atomic energy testing, uranium enrichment, and manufacturing plant at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Workers walking on the grounds of the the plant. The Trinity Shot first atomic explosion is shown near Los Alamos, New Mexico on July 16, 1945. Flash of explosion and a cloud of smoke rises as seen from U.S. Army cameras 6 miles away. Two other views of the explosion are seen from other camera positions while narrator explains the effects. U.S. President Harry S. Truman speaks of the need to keep the secrets of the atomic bomb among the U.S., the U.K, and Canada, alone, until they find successful techniques to control the bomb and protect the world from total destruction. He indicates that he will work the the U.S. Congress in the effort and make the power a force for world peace. Truman asks that God guide the U.S. in how to use the technology in His ways and for His purposes. (World War II period).
