Historical Nuclear Energy Films

In the olden days, the Atomic Energy Commission and others commissioned dozens upon dozens of nuclear energy related videos. Many of these have been digitized, but not all. We've gone through various old catalogs and cross-linked the entries with digitized copies when possible, as well as with modern catalog hyperlinks e.g. in the National Archives, where the physical films are housed. The [list of not-yet-digitized films](#videos-not-yet-digitized-in-order-of-want) is shown below the list of already-digitized ones.

We have also learned how to get not-yet-digitized ones that exist in the National Archives digitized. See our YouTube channel here and [our Digital Reactor History Museum]({% link museum.md %}). You can read more about the process of digitization and see some results at [our ZPPR video page]({% link _news/2022-12-19-zppr-film-scanned.md %}) and [our announcement of the world re-premier of a Hallam film]({% link _news/2023-03-13-hallam-historical-films-scanned.md %}). If you're interested in helping to get more of these scanned, check out our digitization GoFundMe and/or [contact us]({% link contact.md %})!

{% assign grouped_wanted = vids_wanted | group_by: 'priority' %} {% assign prioritiesSorted = grouped_wanted | sort: "name" %}

{% assign sorted_wanted= '' | split: '' %} {% for pri in prioritiesSorted %} {% assign sorted_this_pri = pri.items | sort: 'date' %} {% assign sorted_wanted = sorted_wanted | concat: sorted_this_pri %} {% endfor %}

Videos that have been digitized

These films have been scanned and can be viewed online now.

{% include table_of_vids.liquid vids=vids_gotten%}

Videos not yet digitized in order of want

The ones with non-blank NARA IDs are readily available for scanning given funding.

{% include table_of_vids.liquid vids=sorted_wanted %}

Title Index

{% assign vids_sorted = site.data.videos | sort: "title" %} {% assign half = site.data.videos.size | divided_by: 2 %}

    {% for vid in vids_sorted %} {% if forloop.index <= half %}
  • {{vid.title}}
    • {% endif %} {% endfor %}
    {% for vid in vids_sorted %} {% if forloop.index > half %}
  • {{vid.title}}
    • {% endif %} {% endfor %}
