Construction of the Sodium Reactor Experiment nuclear power plant in Southern California
The Santa Susana Mountains in Southern California. Bulldozers clear trees in the Santa Susana Mountains. Explosives blasting cleared land to build the foundation of the planned Sodium Reactor Experiment nuclear power plant at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory. Construction workers build the core cavity liner of the Sodium Reactor Experiment nuclear power plant. The core cavity liner of the sodium reactor before concrete is poured to make the foundation. A man welds steel pipes in the outer surface of the core cavity. A large circular hole for the inlet and outlet piping. Workers set up basic structures after the core cavity liner and foundation are built. Some workers are digging near concrete columns. A worker pushes a wheelbarrow. Concrete poured into wheelbarrow. The wheelbarrow pours concrete into a backhoe. Workers pour wet concrete into the foundation. Animation depicts four concentric rings installed at the bottom of the cavity liner. A ladder inside a tank. Workers install blocks of thermal insulation materials. A crane carries the outer tank made from low-alloy steel. Workers carefully lower the outer tank into the core cavity. Stacked thermal shield rings at the construction site. The “Pacific” crane lowers a thermal shield ring into place. The crane brings the stainless-steel core tank. The crane lowers the core tank into the core cavity. Stainless steel bellows is put into place to seal the core tank and outer tank. Animation shows how bellows maintain the sodium vapors within the core area. Workers in white protective uniforms install the moderator and reflector units under conditions of extreme cleanliness. A worker uses a high-capacity vacuum cleaner to clean parts. The workers proceed to install the 75-ton top shield. Scientists monitor the pumps that monitor the rate of coolant flow in the sodium loops. A scientist inspects the fuel elements installed in the core. Scientists working at a control room of the Sodium Reactor Experiment nuclear power plant. They monitor the reactor stability. Timer connected to the control rod. Various meters measuring various powers such as electrical, thermal, and main primary sodium flow, steam flow rate. A Honeywell meter measuring the reactor inlet temperature. A sodium inlet temperature meter. A scientist measures shielding effectiveness during power runs. The scientist inspects shield blocks above the radioactive coolant galleries and over the reactor core.
Scientists study and change fuel elements in core reactor of the Sodium Reactor Experiment nuclear power plant
Scientists working in control room of Sodium Reactor Experiment nuclear power plant at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory in Southern California. Fuel elements made from special uranium alloys, thorium uranium, and high temperature ceramic fuels. A scientist in white protective suit rides and operates bridge train. Fuel elements are removed from the core by the shielded fuel handling cast. The operator positions the cast in the general area over the used fuel element to be withdrawn. An indexing mechanism guides the cast to a preset position. Pneumatic mechanism forces an LED radiation shield down onto the surface of the loading face. Animation depicts a pickup device within the cast is lowered to engage the shielding plug of the used fuel element, with the shielding plug hanger rod and radioactive fuel element as one complete unit. Revolving fuel support plate at the top of the cast rotates to position new fuel element over empty fuel channel. The new fuel element is lowered into the core and shielding mechanisms are raised. The used fuel element is taken to underground cleaning cells where it is washed in a water bath. The fuel element is transferred into a storage cell after cleaning to permit reprocessing. Scientists use the hot cells for disassembly and study of experimental fuel elements. A scientist uses robotic arms to handle irradiated material in another room.
FSSF captures and escorts prisoners after the Battle of Cisterna during World War 2
German and Italian prisoners of war (POW), captured by the First Special Service Force (FSSF, or sometimes referred to as SSF or "The Devil's Brigade") (elite joint American-Canadian commando unit) during their attack at Cisterna, Italy, in World War II, are seen gathered in a compound with a bomb-damaged building in the background. An American guard holding a rifle escorts more prisoners along a highway towards the compound. Prisoners in both shots appear fatigued, some showing visible injuries with leg, arm, and head bandages. In a final scene, two seated prisoners rest; one has an injured leg and smokes a cigarette.
FSSF soldiers advance on a road and through grassy terrain during World War 2
American soldiers of the First Special Service Force (FSSF, or sometimes referred to as SSF or "The Devil's Brigade") (elite joint American-Canadian commando unit) walk in single file along a road and through high grasses, passing barbed wire or razor wire entanglements. The U.S. Army soldiers are carrying backpacks, gear, and rifles.
Wrecked tanks and FSSF escorting prisoners of war during World War 2
Camera man slate indicates location is near Mussolini Canal. Past a tree line and ruined building, distant explosions cause smoke to rise. In the next shot, a steady line of German prisoners of war (POW) march toward the camera, many with hands behind their backs, captured by the First Special Service Force (FSSF, or sometimes referred to as SSF or "The Devil's Brigade") (elite joint American-Canadian commando unit) during their attack in Italy, World War II. FSSF soldiers march alongside the prisoners, holding rifles ready. A smaller group of prisoners, all with their hands on their heads, march past armed FSSF soldiers and a tank. In the next scene, FSSF soldiers march away from the camera, passing a knocked-out U.S. Army M4 Sherman tank. Later, a group of soldiers inspects three knocked-out Panzer IV tanks on the side of the road. Some soldiers are seen using shovels at the edge of the road. The final shot zooms in on a destroyed German Panzer IV tank.
Scenes of American workers and families; actors depicting racial theories used by the Nazi party to attain ruling power in Germany.
From a U.S. Army training film. Actor portrayals for a number of the scenes. African American porter or waiter on moving railroad train carrying drinks on a tray. Story line depicts a young man named Mike traveling in a railroad train. He looks at the countryside through the windows of a moving train passing by open areas of American countryside. Quick views of farms and factories, city skyscrapers, many workers outside a factory at shift change, farmer reaping wheat harvest with reaper pulled by team of horses; smoke from factory chimneys and smokestacks; miners working in underground mine (likely coal mine). Pedestrians on busy city streets. African American family entering a church door and being greeted by clergy. Racially integrated group of children of mixed races including African American, Asian American, and white boys playing baseball. View of a cowboy rounding up livestock on a ranch; various church signs and church buildings of different religions; fishermen at work. Mike walking along a street listens to a man giving a provoking speech to a street crowd. The man talks of separation among American citizens on the basis of religion, color and origin. An African American man in the crowd shakes his head in disgust listening to the speech. Another man from among the street crowd discusses with Mike the similarity between the provoking man and the Nazis. A Nazi official delivers a provocative speech to the crowd consisting of people from all sections of society in Germany. The speaker speaks about segregation of the minorities like Jews, Catholics, Free Masons and outsiders from Germans. A Nazi German soldier dresses up, his family suffering from lack of food. Actors portraying the Nazi leaders Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goering and others. Large troops of Nazi Germans soldiers provoked by Nazi leaders. Actual footage of a nazi rally at the Party Rally Grounds in Nuremberg. Actors portraying the smashing of political parties other than Nazis. The country was divided into number of minority groups. People of groups other than Germans being tortured. Jews and Catholics beaten by Nazi soldiers. (World War II period).
