U.S. Marines during Operation Prairie in Vietnam. Several Marines (Mars), some with camouflage helmets, some without shirts seated and standing in a clearing in the jungle. An 81mm mortar amidst the Mars. A Mar holds mortar round while seated while another Mar removes packing material from fin of a mortar round. A Mar loads and fires 81mm mortar. Other Mars hold fingers in their ears and look on. Columns of white smoke rising from side of wooded hill due to impact of mortar. A U.S. Marines A-4B Skyhawk flies on strafing run. The aircraft drops bombs that fall through columns of smoke onto side of wooded hill. Mars load and fire 81mm mortar as seen over branches of trees lying on the ground. Another Mar holds fingers in ears as he looks on. A Mar looks through sight of mortar and adjusts range. Mars in clearing prepares mortar rounds for firing. A Mar removes cleaning rod from mortar. Columns of black and white smoke rises from wooded hillside. A-4B drops napalm bombs which explode in a cluster of trees. Columns of smoke rise due to the explosions. (Vietnam War period).

Small shelters and Marines (Mars) walking in the area. The Razorback in the background. The Rock Pile as seen over grass. Rocky cliffs of the Rock Pile. A Mar with utilities carrying M-14 rifle double timing over a dirt road. A parked M48A3 Patton medium tank with a 90mm gun and xeon search light in the background. (Vietnam War period).
Californian Congressman Charles E Wiggins and North Carolina Representative Basil Lee Whitener during a visit to Camp Carroll in Vietnam. Congressman Wiggins with utilities and dark glasses. Lettering over pocket of utilities reads 'Representative'. Brigadier General Ryan with utilities, cartridge belt and utility cover speaking with Congressman Wiggins and Representative Whitener. An idling USMC UH-1E helicopter in the background. Corporal Robert E Scott of 'C' Company 3rd Regiment and Corporal Henry Willis of 'H' Company 3rd Regiment stand with Representative Whitener and another military officer. Cpl Scott and Cpl Willis speak to Whitener. Large tent in the background. U.S. Navy Captain Larry G Park (MACV) Saigon, speaking to Whitner. Cpl Willis look on smiling. Congressman Wiggins converses with Sergeant Major JM Westman of 'H' Company 3rd Marine Division. Mars standing near walls of sandbags around large tent. Representative Whitener holding small 16mm camera with fingers in his ears while guns are fired. Marines with utilities and covers stand atop 175mm M107 self propelled gun. Gun raised into firing position and fired by U.S. Army soldiers. (Vietnam War period).
Story Camp Hanford during the Manhattan Project in World War II. Scenes of Dr. Glenn Seaborg and colleagues: Arthur Wall, Edward McMillan, and Emilio Segre, who generated and isolated Plutonium at University of California in 1941 A sign on a container reads 'First Pure 94 (239) isolated from chain reaction source'. A model of the atomic pile under the stadium at the University of Chicago, where Enrico Fermi, an Italian physicist, demonstrated controlled nuclear fission, on December 2, 1942. A map shows various sites chosen for Manhattan Engineer's District. Views of desert in Southeast Washington State. The Columbia River, for cooling. Electrical towers for power supply. An aerial view of project buildings in Hanford. Construction workers selected for the project in Hanford. Construction sites. Trailer houses for the workers. An aerial view of the plant ready for operation. Inserted view of Camp Hanford abandoned, in later years.
'The Story of Hanford' about the activities of the Atomic Energy Commission and parts of the atomic bomb Manhattan Project conducted at Camp Hanford in Richland, Washington. Houses of the workers construction buildings for the project. Trucks are driven on a highway. Railroad carries material to the Hanford site. An aerial view of the plant with three nuclear reactors. Reactor for the production of plutonium. A plant for the separation of pure metal. Workers work at the plant to convert uranium into plutonium. The workers wear protective gear work. A worker opens the door of the area where plutonium is stored. Two workers bring air tight containers of plutonium on a trolley. A worker makes a note of it and places the containers in a lock. The energy of plutonium is compared with other fuels. The plant for the separation of plutonium from uranium. A map shows different places from which fissionable uranium and plutonium for the production of bombs can be obtained. People read newspapers.
Activities of the Atomic Energy Commission on the Hanford Project in Richland, Washington. The Atomic Energy Commission at the Richland Headquarters for the Hanford work. A General Electric company worker works at machines and equipment. An aerial view of the Hanford plant shows nuclear reactors and separation plants. Workers work at the separation machinery to separate plutonium from uranium. Uranium rods in a wooden box are carried. An animation of a uranium rod shows fissionable uranium content and the process of conversion of non fissionable uranium to plutonium. Workers in an elevator are lowered. Workers at the reactor load the reactor with fuel. Water being used as a coolant in the reactor. A water purification plant. Other workers remove the used up uranium from the rear end of the reactor. The used up fuel is disposed in water tanks. More radioactive materials are carried in a railroad. Materials are taken to another plant. A worker operates a crane. The aluminum cladding is removed. The crane lowers the fuel. The fuel is changed to three useful products inside the plant. Workers at the plant process uranium for further use. Solid uranium is placed in a cylindrical containers. A machine lifts the containers and places it on a flat car. A chart shows injury free days in various plants.
