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.
Generators and tubes at the Sodium Reactor Experiment nuclear power plant
The Sodium Reactor Experiment nuclear power plant at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory in Southern California. Air blast heat exchangers where hot sodium is cooled at the power plant. Tubes located in the air stream of electrically driven fans in the facility. Tubes where sodium flows directly to the steam plant through the secondary non-radioactive sodium loop. Loops and tubes of the Sodium Reactor Experiment plant. The Southern California Edison Company run electrical generating plant used in conjunction with the Sodium Reactor Experiment. A steam generator inside the electrical generating plant. A steam condenser. Water pipes supplying the steam condenser with water. Induced draught cooling water tower. Conventional turbine generator feeding a step-up transformer. A generator in power plant. Powerlines in Southern California. The Sodium Reactor Experiment nuclear power plant with the Santa Susana Mountains in the background. Scientists working at a control center. Aerial view of the the Sodium Reactor Experiment nuclear power plant.
Wounded Marine is given a blood transfusion (WW2)
Soldiers lay injured Marines down on the ground on Iwo Jima during World War II. A wounded U.S. Marine lying on stretcher talks to a soldier. A wounded Marine on stretcher is given a whole blood transfusion. A medic holds blood transfusion bottle. The medic talks to the Marine receiving a transfusion. Soldiers placing wounded Marines aboard a Douglas DC-3 transport plane for medical air evacuation. The Douglas DC-3 transport plane taxis and takes off from the airfield. Some Jeeps drive in the foreground.
Japanese fighter planes take off from flight decks of aircraft carriers and fly toward Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (WW2)
Imperial Japanese Navy officers standing on bridge of a warship in World War II. Two Japanese aircraft carriers Kaga and Zuikaku underway at sea. Japanese officer uses a pair of binoculars. Plane pushers moving planes on flight deck of aircraft carrier. A Japanese pilot in white suit runs past crewmen. Air 'boas' on the bridge of the Japanese carrier give a 'launch planes' signal. A Japanese senior officer gives out instructions to pilots on flight deck. The officer stands in front of wall written with Japanese writings. Japanese Navy Nakajima B5N 'Kates' fighter engines turning up on deck. The sailors remove chucks from under the wheels of the fighter planes. The pilots run to embark on the ‘Kates’ fighter planes. The Nakajima B5N 'Kates' fighter planes taking off one by one from the aircraft carrier. Sailor waves a white flag. Japanese Navy Aichi D3A 'Vals' aircraft take off in formation. An aerial formation of the 'Vals' approaching Pearl Harbor. Type 97 carrier attack-bomber model 3 in flight. Aerial view of various Japanese aircraft bombing over Pearl Harbor and Wheeler Field.
A tanker fuels the USS Saratoga on day after a Japanese kamikaze aircraft attack (WW2)
The fueling of USS Saratoga (CV-3) from a tanker a day after a Kamikaze attack on the aircraft carrier. Dr. Edgar Maurice Cortright, United States Navy Lieutenant, narrates his experience on board the USS Saratoga at the time of its bombing by Kamikaze planes during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. A sack is passed to the tanker support using a breeches buoy. The fuel lines are hauled across the USS Saratoga and the tanker ship. Men working on the decks of the USS Saratoga and tanker. The tanker fuels a destroyer at the same time. One of the three tankers accompanying the USS Saratoga is the USS Bismarck Sea (CVE- 95). Crewmen from the USS Saratoga watch as the tanker fuels both the aircraft carrier and the destroyer. Crewmen and tanks on deck as the destroyer bounces up and down. Mail is being transferred from the destroyer to the aircraft carrier. Dr. Cortright talks about the importance of receiving mail from loved ones and the work of volunteers who deliver mail to them.
USS Bismarck Sea and USS Saratoga sailing in the Pacific Ocean (WW2)
The USS Bismarck Sea (CVE- 95) sailing in the Pacific Ocean during World War 2.
