Destruction in coastal northeast USA from the 1944 "Great Atlantic Hurricane" (First example of a named hurricane in the US)
Views of The Great Atlantic Hurricane lashing at northeast United States areas (after having already hit the North Carolina Outer Banks), and views of the aftermath and early cleanup following the storm. Regions shown include Atlantic City, Long Island (where it came ashore as a category 3 hurricane on September 15, 1944), New York City suburbs, and parts of New England. High surf flooding boardwalks and coastal cities. Trees bent over and snapped in high winds. People walking with difficulty in the high winds. Streets of towns submerged in water. Coastal docks destroyed and large boats scattered high onto shore areas. Trees, poles, and wires downed over roads and homes. Entire homes moved off of their foundations and placed down the street. The "Great Atlantic Hurricane" was the first example of a named hurricane by the Miami Hurricane Warning Office, which later became the National Hurricane Center. The name was meant to reflect the hurricane's size and intensity.
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.
