The Columbia Command Module of Apollo 11 seen as a white light streaking through the sky as it reenters earth's atmosphere. The Columbia module seen floating in the ocean near the USS Hornet. President of the United States Richard Nixon on the USS Hornet. A helicopter recovers the astronatus from the Columbia Command module in the Pacific Ocean. A man clicks pictures. The astronauts being pulled up to the helicopter from the command module floating in the ocean. The helicopter lands on the carrier. The ramp being pushed to the helicopter. Richard Nixon waving at the astronauts. Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins disembark in special air-tight suits to applause of the crew, and then immediately enter a Mobile Quarantine Van. The crew of Apollo 11 in quarantine after returning to Earth. People welcome the astronatus in the quarantine van after it has arrived in Houston Texas. The astronauts talk over a red telephone to family and friends gathered in Houston. They wave from the quarantine van where they must remain for 3 weeks. Views of the astronauts on the moon are shown periodically. A scientist opens a collected rock and dust sample from moon using special equipment in a closed chamber. Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package placed on the surface. Laser ranging retro reflector placed on the surface of moon. The lunar module (LM) Eagle on moon surface.

A documentary titled 'Project Salt Vault' depicts methods of disposing of waste uranium in the United States. View of a nuclear power plant. Cars parked in front of the plant. Electrical feeders attached to a bay. The conveyors. Uranium fuel in a nuclear reactor. An animation depicts the reprocessing of the leftover uranium fuel to separate it from radioactive waste. The uranium waste is stored in tanks. A man undertakes experiments at the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission to reduce the volume of the waste. An animation depicts heating process for reducing the waste. A sign board reads 'Project Salt Vault, Oak Ridge National Laboratory'. A salt bed is used to dispose of waste uranium. A man walks in a salt mine.
A documentary depicts disposal of high level nuclear waste in salt mines in the United States for radioactive waste. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). A man works on a machine and conducts a test. He operates the machine. A board reads' Project Salt Vault'. High level solidified waste. A truck carries canned fuel element for an experiment. A salt mine. A ground crew comes and collects data. Interior of the mine. A man conducts the experiment. Fuel assembly array located in different sections of the mine. An electronic heated control array. Canned fuel element for demonstration is unloaded from a special carrier. It is placed vertically over a shaft. Underground crew operates a transporter control. The can is lowered. An animation shows the can being lowered and mounted on a fuel canned transporter. A check for radiation leakage is made after the transporter doors are closed. The crew moves back to the room where the experiment is conducted. A crew man removes the radio active container from a transporter cask. The cask in lowered and a hoist cable is disconnected. The transporter carries the fuel can to the experiment room. The fuel can is kept in a hole. The crew moves and operates a remote control.
A documentary depicts disposal of high level nuclear waste in salt mines in the United States. A crew man checks a storage hole. Animation depicts the containment, removal of cans, backfilling of holes with crushed salt, and replacing of fuel cans with highly radioactive fuel. A man installs tubes in the hole. A machine which tells the exact temperature in the experimental area. A man looks through a dumpy level. Another man takes measurement with a floor to ceiling gauge and a wall to wall conversion gauge. A man uses a strain gauge to obtain data. Men insert holders into the hole. A man looks at the machine which gives the salt flow data. Two men study the data and draw an actual design requirement of a disposal facility. An animation depicts the process of disposal of crushed salt. A transporter moves after an experiment
