Film promoting consideration of Nuclear-powered rockets for U.S. Space Program
Seals of National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Atomic Energy Commission indicate joint sponsorship of the idea in this film: namely, to promote consideration of Nuclear-powered rockets, in lieu of chemical-povered ones, in the U.S. Space Programs. Moon as seen from earth. Animation of a landing vehicle landing on surface of the moon. Animation of space vehicles and equipment in outer space and on a planet. Chemical Rockets are mentioned and are compared to future plans for Nuclear rockets to expand programs in space. View of Saturn V rocket on launch pad. Night time launch of Saturn V rocket from launch pad powered by chemical fuel. S-aturn V rocket ascending. View from rocket as part of propulsion system is ejected during ascent second stage. Animation and discussion of use of a nuclear powered third stage for propulsion. Animation of a lunar base and a spacecraft involved in a lunar supply mission. It is explained by animation how more thrust and efficiency is gained by use of nuclear rockets versus chemical rockets. (The program was the Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application or NERVA, a nuclear thermal rocket engine development program.)
Film juxtaposes transportation of electricity, with transportation of people, and shows myriad uses of electricity.
Electric power lines and insulators. A bridge across a river in United States. Cars pass on it in wintertime, with snow at edge of road on a cold morning. High voltage long distance electric transmission lines and towers. Statue of Liberty from behind, with helicopter flying past it. Series of very close-up views of appliances and conveniences that use electricity: Chicken roasting on electric powered rotisserie. Clock hands moving on electric powered clock. Person turns on electric desk lamp. Electric powered beaters spinning. Electric powered industrial machining operation. A couple dancing to music powered by electricity. Several kinds of electric transmission lines. Electricity in the 1960s office environment: Hand dialing a rotary dial telephone; adding machine; close-up views of typewriter in operation; punch card sorter for punch cards of early computer; early computer tape drive spinning; warning lights. Closeup views of fingers pressing keys and dialing. Night view of Times Square on Manhattan Island, New York City with many illuminated commercial signs and neon signs.
Various methods of power production in the United States, including hydroelectric, coal and nuclear power.
Views of various sources of electric power generation in America, with emphasis on nuclear being cleaner and more efficient than other methods such as coal. Opening shot is a dam generating hydroelectric power, and its associated electric power substations. Coal fired power plant, with mountain of coal, railroad, and associated electrical switch yard. Spherical gas tanks holding fuel for power generation. Natural gas storage tanks and electric generator cables. Smoke, steam, and a mountain of coal, associated with electric power generation. Cranes off-loading coal from train cars onto conveyors feeding a power plant with smoke stacks emitting fumes. Cranes with clamshell buckets leaking coal as they offload it from barges in a river. Coal being transported on conveyor belts at a plant. Fire burning in the furnace of coal-fired power plant. Clean Control room of a power plant, with technician monitoring instruments and adjusting control settings.View of pristine turbine deck in a power plant, with several steam turbines visible. Contrasting view of coal-fired power plant exterior, with smoke seen near transmission lines and incredibly long trains filled with coal move on railroad. Nuclear fuel fabricators seen placing nuclear fuel rods into assemblies bearing Westinghouse name, covering them with plastic and preparing them for shipment in large steel containers. The containers of fuel rod assemblies are loaded into a truck.
Functioning of a nuclear reactor explained through animated diagram
Atomic energy production. Fuel fabricator placing nuclear fuel rods into an assembly. Man wears apron and gloves. Animated diagram of a nuclear reactor, showing fuel assemblies and blue control rods in reactor. Diagram shows nuclear fission occurring inside the nuclear reactor. Blue control rods are inserted, stopping the reaction. Then they are partially withdrawn and set to precisely control the rate of nuclear fission and attendant energy generation. Cooling water is seen circulating around in the reactor diagram. A schematic diagram illustrates how the heated cooling water heats to steam and then energizes turbines that generate electricity which is transmitted over the electric grid where it is made available for use. Diagram shows river water being drawn in and cycled through the plant.
Men work at a nuclear reactor plant
Atomic energy production. Animated diagram of fission occurring in a nuclear reactor. Television monitor view inside reactor. Technicians place radioactive material, underwater, into a heavy shielded cask for transportation. The cask is then raised out of the water pool and moved by cranes to a truck, which transports it a long distance. Nuclear power plant exterior is seen. View of technician taking monitoring sample and checking it for radioactivity. Exterior views of the nuclear station -- clean, quiet, unobtrusive. Interior views showing piping, controls, fuel rods, fuel assembly under water, control room and instrumentation, and general plant appearance.
Atomic Energy process for approving nuclear power plant construction. Advisory Committee. Atomic Safety and Licensing Board.
Atomic energy production. A nuclear power plant. Men seated around a table in a conference room. The men view a diagram of a reactor in a presentation. The men study the design of nuclear plant construction. Engineers in drafting room work on blue prints for a nuclear power plant. Scene of Washington DC, with traffic on roads, Washington Monument in background, and then views of landmark federal buildings near Constitution Avenue. Man enters offices of Atomic Energy Commission and obtains document entitled "In the Matter of Application for Construction Permit, Docket No. 50-861," which he studies. Men in conference room of 'Advisory Committee on Reactor safeguards'. Papers regarding the construction of plant. Views of town where prospective nuclear plant will be located. In courthouse, a public hearing is conducted, by an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, regarding the proposed new plant. After considering testimony from concerned parties, the board approves the permit and members sign.
