Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
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: Plutonium during final production process at Savannah River plant
Date(s): 1960/1969, 1960, 1969
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: The black object in the plastic bag held above in an outstretched gloved hand is plutonium, which emerges from the final production process at Savannah River in metal form. Plutonium, an element not found on earth, is created in Savannah River Plant reactors when uranium 238 atoms transmute or change identity, during the splitting of uranium 235 atoms. Plutonium and uranium 235, the latter being the starting material in all atomic operations, have similar characteristics. Both are important...
Show moreThe black object in the plastic bag held above in an outstretched gloved hand is plutonium, which emerges from the final production process at Savannah River in metal form. Plutonium, an element not found on earth, is created in Savannah River Plant reactors when uranium 238 atoms transmute or change identity, during the splitting of uranium 235 atoms. Plutonium and uranium 235, the latter being the starting material in all atomic operations, have similar characteristics. Both are important new sources of energy that can be used for both defense and for peace.

Title: Heavy water facility at Savannah River plant
Date(s): 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.

Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: Huge concrete encased steel tanks provide containment for radioactive by products at the Savannah River Project. This picture, taken during installation of the tanks, shows forms for the concrete pre-stressing. Once installed, the tanks are backfilled and covered completely with dirt. The tanks sits on a heavy steel saucer which in turn sits on a 6 inch concrete pad. They are 85 feet in diameter and about 34 feet high. Tank capacities range from 750,000 to 1,300,00 gallons.
