Description
Title cards that read "Argonne National Laborary - Atomic energy USAEC," "Experimental Boiling Water Reactor," and "STOCK FOOTAGE." Multiple shots of the exterior of the completed Experimental Boiling Water Reactor on snow-covered ground. Footage of three men in hats and ties watching a Catepillar tractor plowing a field. Shot of ladders in a large construction pit followed by a shot of workers welding a large structure in the pit. Exterior shot of the domed EBWR structure being constructed with cranes. Interior shots of men constructing the reactor with machinery. Shots within the sprawling laboratory; men looking at dials and a linear flux level. End card that reads "STOCK FOOTAGE" again.
