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.
