Adventures in the Atomic Archives

It's so awesome that you are making this incredible content available!

Thanks! I just love that people made it in the first place. I feel like this last step of digitizing it is so minor compared to all the effort it took to make the stuff and then make the film. I guess digitizing it is just a really high leverage activity. Small bit of paperwork and cpu cycles for a big benefit for everyone.

[@dack42]

Absolutely! There's so much we can learn from these films. It would be a terrible shame for them to sit unseen in a vault until the film degrades beyond recovery. There really is something special about all the old engineering/technical films. I wish making content like that was a more common practice today.

Happy Birthday What is Nuclear! I've enjoyed your channel, and appreciate your effort to post these archival films for all to see on Y.T. Thanks!

[@whatisnuclear]

Thank you and you're welcome!

This is fantastic material. Thanks for the effort. I know how much fun you're having, but this is really valuable to all of us in "the space".

Great story! I didn't realise you did pamphlets too. Many years ago a friend who knew I was in to nuclear said he had a cool pamphlet about UK reactors so he gave it to me. I'll dig it up and see if I can scan it for you. It's a bit of an oddball though because it has reactor cutaways printed on transparent cellophane so I'm not sure how well they will scan.

Thanks! That pamphlet sounds super interesting. I've never seen one with transparent reactor cutaways like that. Would definitely be interested.
