Power Reactors USA

This is an old Atomic Energy Commission video showing many types of power reactors, produced in 1958.

Comprehensive survey of the U.S. power reactor programm - covering technical planning, construction and operational experience associated with the Shippingport pressurized water reactor, the Army Package power reactor, the Indian Point and Yankee projects, Argonne Laboratory's experimental boiling water reactor, the Pleasanton, Dresden, and Monroe projects, the Idaho organic moderated reactor experiment, experimental breeder reactor 1, and homogenous reactor experiments 1 and 2.
