Summary

[edit]
Description
English: 330-PS-7818 (USN 709592): Construction nears completion on the Navy’s first atomic reactor for research at the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C. At the center of the photograph may be seen the large pool which distinguishes this type of reactor. This pool will be filled with water in which will be suspended the reactor core of Uranium 235. The large framework at the near end of the pool will be surrounded by a thick radiation shield of concrete, lead, and other special shielding materials. Seven major holes, or “beam ports,” will pierce the shield; they may be opened to permit strong rays of uncharged nuclear particles or weapons to emerge for use by physicists of a variety of research problems. The building will also house a number of laboratory rooms and other special purpose research facilities. Photograph released April 19, 1956. (2/11/2015).
