Activities of the Atomic Energy Commission on the Hanford Project in Richland, Washington. A sign reads 'Welcome to N-Reactor Operated For The AEC By General Electric. Hanford Atomic Products Department'. General Electric members work in a communication room during the production of plutonium for any war and for the production of steam in 1959. Men speak over microphones. A man speaks into a telephone and moves towards a set of communication system. He presses a switch to raise an alarm. Many switches, dials, levers, blinking lights seen in the control room. In 1963 U.S. President John F Kennedy arrives at the Hanford nuclear power plant site to break ground for the construction of the nuclear power plant. He disembarks from a helicopter. He gives a speech. Other officials sit at the back on chairs and listen. People gathered in the front clap. An aerial view of the power plant. Interiors of the plant communication room and a generation area. Workers work in the plant. An aerial view of the nuclear power plant and the dual reactor facility. Electrical towers for electricity supply to homes and factories in the region.

A scientist observes through binoculars. Deer on the ground. A scientist checks the effect of radioactive material on animals. An animal in a radioactive detection machine. Scientists on a boat take out fishes for checking the radioactive content in water. Birds in flight. A scientist observes the activities of the birds living in the area of radioactivity through binoculars. He observes the eggs of the birds. A woman scientist works on samples of plants in a laboratory to see how radioactivity moves from the soil to the plants through roots. The animals are being tested by the scientists.

A scientist performs a weather forecasting test. He releases a weather balloon and observes through an instrument. Gases are released in the atmosphere. A scientist works on a machine detecting the changes in uranium fuel element by heat and radiation. The hand of the scientist on the control of the machine. Scientists work on mosaics.
Activities of the Atomic Energy Commission on the Hanford Project in Richland, Washington. An animation depicts that a satellite can be run by the heat from the decay of a few pounds of plutonium. Scientists protected by thick protective glasses study the radioactive materials by remote control devices. A scientist stands near an impact forge. A scientist picks up a piece of plutonium using tongs. The piece of plutonium is placed on the forge. Hands of the scientist on the control of a the machine. Plutonium is pressed to a high density. A plutonium recycle test reactor. A scientist pours a powdered fuel. Scientists work on different machines for compacting uranium and plutonium into fuel elements by ultra sound waves.
Activities of the Atomic Energy Commission on the Hanford Project in Richland, Washington. Scientists work on various equipment for constructing a plutonium breeder reactor. Glenn Theodore Seaborg, the chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission(AEC), speaks about the breeder reactor. He points to a picture of the breeder rector in operation at the Atomic Energy Commission testing center. Cars driven towards the AEC center. An aerial view of the AEC center. Donald G. Williams, the manager of the AEC Richland, speaks about the Richland plant. Vehicles on a road. An aerial view of the township. He speaks about the development of a metropolitan city and about providing jobs to people who would loose their jobs due to the shutting down of a few reactors. A man prints a paper that reads Hanford capabilities. The members of the Tri-City Development Council with other government officials in a conference. Names of the various big organizations involved in the Hanford Project after the General Electric.
