Visit Part 2: Distributed by Artkino Pictures, “Atoms for Peace” (1956) is a black-and-white propaganda film produced by the Moscow Popular Science Film Studio about nuclear power and its useful applications outside of armament. White doves fly over Moscow (1:31). Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant (1:39). Operators tend to nuclear reactors (2:10). Crane removes protective cask lid -- glow of radiation in water (2:42). Animation of lattice rods at bottom of reactor (3:06). Evolution of nuclear energy (3:26). Cross-section of reactor (5:36). Turbo generators (6:19). Production radioactive isotopes: men in white lab coats demonstrate how nuclear reactors can be used for nutrient bombardment of various materials, close-up details of reactor’s exterior elements (6:26). Switchboard operates reactor (7:43). Animation of what happens to irradiated material in the rod (7:51). Animation types of radiation: alpha, beta, gamma rays and electromagnetic radiation (8:33). Operator remotely controls removal of tube to prevent dangerous exposure, lowers sample into manhole where sample is removed (9:50). Two personnel check massive isotope container with special tool to ensure no radioactive substance on exterior (10:41). Interior ‘hot laboratory’ (11:11). Operator uses ‘manipulators’ that imitate movements from sealed chamber (12:00). Sample cuts by manipulators (15:06). Operating separators: close-up mechanized arms adding piece of sample to machine, pendulum swings as samples are removed from machine (15:14). Operating screw manipulator (16:38). Employee wears special radiation suit, checks manipulator (16:49). Row of employees using glass glove boxes (17:14). Safety measures and protective devices in the hot laboratory: barrier lowers stopping employee (17:37). Animation radioactive radiation of isotopes (18:05). Exterior Oncological Research Institute (18:16). Nurse turns wheel, slowly lowers cobalt gun (Eldorado Cobalt-60) treatment (18:33). Inner workings of cobalt gun (18:53). Examples tube sizes and shapes for radiation (19:58). Before-picture patient with facial tumor, contrast footage patient after radiation (20:51). Brachytherapy - radioactive needles stick out from storage case, female operator prepares needles from behind protective glass (21:17). Doctor inserts needles in operating theater (22:24). Mother and young daughter in doctors office for consultation, daughter has facial angioma (23:2). Female technician applies radioactive cobalt to mold from behind protective glass (24:25). Various sized vessels and bottles made of polyethylene (25:55). Polyethylene pieces treated with cobalt, lowered into vat, animated cross-section of container and process of radiation (26:42). Old Soviet Union truck from 1950s, perhaps GAZ-51, parked at oil production plant for oil prospecting (28:41). Interior of truck - apparatus with knobs and dials mounted in vehicle, wires connecting truck with prospecting site (28:44). Animation neutron emitter inside borehole, flux of neutrons going in all directions (29:42). Operator observes screen of oscillograph (30:01). Engineer reads photographic scrolls, similar to TOCO strip (30:41). Camera pans gamma defector scope device, factory lab preparations using device for experiment test defect in metal castings (31:11). Camera trails tool as experiment underway (32:11).
