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.
