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.
