Test flight of an F-101A aircraft at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The aircraft is seen cruising normally, at high altitude, with contrails behind it. The aircraft is deliberately stalled by the pilot. It enters a flat spin. After several turns in the flat spin, the test pilot deploys a parabrake, which is seen at the tail of the aircraft. The aircraft continues descending, not fully stabilized by the parabrake. The pilot bails out. His open chute can be seen.
Bad weather conditions send water rushing against the uncompleted structure of Bonneville Dam. A boat loaded with workmen skim in water. A dump truck is used. A crane in operation. Workmen climb up the uncompleted structure of the dam.
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
The Columbia River in Bonneville, Oregon opens for navigation. People line the banks of the Columbia River as freighter SS Charles L. Wheeler, Jr. passes the sea locks at the Bonneville Dam.
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.
