Close up of south face of Brookhaven Reactor-Through these holes in the south face of the Brookhaven reactor are introduced tons of pure uranium metal. Once in the graphite moderator of the reactor proper, uranium atoms fission, or spilt, in a...
The field assemblies are shown under twenty feet of water and behind empty fuel hangers. For the high flux operation, the Atomic Energy Commission has converted a reactor from military to peaceful applications. The objectives of this operation are...
Dr. Harvey C. Rentschler and Dr. Robert F. James viewing one of the new "Sterilamp" devices in the research labs of the Westinghouse Lamp Company in Bloomfield, NJ where it was developed. The slender lamp produces special radiation which is...
At the DuPont Company's Experimental Station near Wilmington, Delaware a Film Department chemist exposes a new experimental film to extreme conditions of temperature and ultraviolet radiation. The study is part of the company's fundamental research...
This Geiger-Muller counter is mounted on a stand of Lucite acrylic resin. Described as the most sensitive instruments known to man, such counters measure the degree of radiation from radioactive substances. They were used widely in determining...
Testing for color fastness with heat and ultra violet radiation are made by the fade-o-meter on pyroxylin coated fabrics at the Newburgh, New York plant. Seventy-two hours of the exposure in the fade-o-meter are equivalent to about two years of...
To determine the degree of gloss in a lacquer or finish, du Pont chemists use a device that measures the amount of light reflected. The light from a constant source is thrown back from the panel into the telescope tube. One half of the 'eyepiece'...
At DuPont's Experimental Station a Film Department chemist exposes a new experimental film to extreme conditions of temperature and ultraviolet radiation. The study is part of the company's fundamental research program in which 400 technically...
Lamp end of the absorption system of the ultra violet photometer shows a mercury lamp with glass envelope removed. Radiation from the lamp is rendered roughly parallel by condensing lenses of quartz and the light is reflected down the absorption...
