Title: Richland, Washington near Hanford Engineering Works
Date(s): 1945, 1945~
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: This camp housed part of Hanford Engineer Works 52,000 population during WWII. Barracks pictured here sheltered construction employees of first atomic energy materials plant at Hanford, WA which DuPont designed, built and operated at the government's request. Because existing towns within a reasonable daily driving distance were unable to provide housing, business and recreational facilities, DuPont later built virtually from the ground up the village of Richland to house the plant operation...
Show moreThis camp housed part of Hanford Engineer Works 52,000 population during WWII. Barracks pictured here sheltered construction employees of first atomic energy materials plant at Hanford, WA which DuPont designed, built and operated at the government's request. Because existing towns within a reasonable daily driving distance were unable to provide housing, business and recreational facilities, DuPont later built virtually from the ground up the village of Richland to house the plant operation force. For the most part they were men and women from the company's industrial plants who had been moved to the area under utmost secrecy.

Title: Cerenkov radiation lights the cooling water surrounding reactor fuel assemblies discharged from Savannah River's first high flux charge in February
Date(s): 1955, 1955~
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: 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 to product trans-uranium isotopes and to irradiate materials for cooperating national laboratories. The neutron flux, heat flux and coolant velocity of the high flux charge are believed to be higher than those of any other reactor. High flux...
Show moreThe 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 to product trans-uranium isotopes and to irradiate materials for cooperating national laboratories. The neutron flux, heat flux and coolant velocity of the high flux charge are believed to be higher than those of any other reactor. High flux operation is possible in Savannah River reactors because of the excellent neutron economy of the heavy water moderator and the entrance of heat removal capabilities. (The only light for this photograph was the Cerenkov radiation).

Title: Experimenting with all weather clothing
Date(s): 1955, 1955?
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: At the Haskell Lab, DuPont scientists are constantly probing new fields. Typical of this ever widening interest is the all weather room, where scientists study body reactions at extremely high and low temperatures. By learning what happens at the extremes and by experimenting with new kinds of clothing, they hope to find ways to make people more comfortable under conditions in which they normally work and live. For comfort, they have learned is closely allied with safety.

Title: Consulting on DuPont plant safety
Date(s): 1955, 1955~
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: Dr. John Zapp, director of the Haskell Labs, consults with DuPont engineers to assist them in building maximum safety into new plants. This is another phase of the laboratory's work. Also, whenever it appears necessary, the lab makes surveys of old plants to detect previously unrecognized hazards.

Title: Separations Facility at Savannah River plant
Date(s): 1955, 1955~
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: Building in the background (left) is a Separations Facility at the Savannah River Plant. Chemical processing of uranium slugs takes place in this facility after the uranium has been brought from the plant reactors. In the foreground are huge concrete encased steel tanks which provide containment for radioactive by products (radioactive wastes). Only the vents can be seen since the tanks have been backfilled and covered with dirt.

Description: This photograph shows the loading operations prior to initial startup of the HWCTR. The operation of a special tool for removing fuel housing tubes is being observed. Actual loading and unloading of fuel are accomplished by the refueling machine in the background. Radioactive fuel elements can be safely transported to a water filled storage pit within the lead shielded cylinder rising from the mechanical drive platform. Installation of the 24 fuel assembles was accomplished on March 1st and...

Title: Heavy water facility at Savannah River plant
Date(s): 1955, 1955~
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: This facility at the Savannah River Plant produces heavy water for use in the Savannah River reactors. The heavy water produced here also is shipped to domestic and foreign users by the Atomic Energy Commission on sale or lease basis. The plant actually separates heavy water from the raw water of the Savannah River. Wherever there is water or moisture, heavy water occurs in normal water at the rate of one ounce to every 52 gallons.
