- Encyclopedia Britannica Films presents, “Atomic Radiation”. Produced by Encyclopedia Britannica Films, in collaboration with the division of the physical sciences which includes the Institute of Nuclear Studies and the University of Chicago. Produced by Warren P. Everote. This is a 1950’s era, black and white film. The purpose of the film is to explain atomic radiation, its discovery and how it is being harnessed in the modern day and for what purposes. The film opens with two men digging at an archaeological site. Men are seen walking through a farm, :45. Atomic symbol is shown 1:00. The French chemist and physicist, Henri Becquerel 1:05. Becquerel and his assistant work together with simple, early experiments with uranium crystals, 1:25. Becquerel puts the uranium crystals in a drawer, 1:45. Henri V’s assistant develops the plates containing the crystals 1:53. The radioactive uranium gives off energy in light or darkness 2:00. Becquerel names this property of the uranium, radioactivity 2:20. Animations of Atoms and radioactive symbols are shown 2:37. Radiation animation with scientific terms is shown 3:00. Alpha Beta Gamma animation is shown 3:15. Pierre and Marie Curie, discoverers of radium are shown in their laboratory 3:50. Pierre Curie is shown conducting an experiment with radium 4:05. The experiment is discussed with alpha and beta particles and finally - the gamma rays 4:55. Gamma Ray animation 5:20. A professor stands in front of a blackboard explaining atomic energy 5:45. Animation shows Uranium - 235 in action 6:42. Animation showing fission is shown 7:00. The splitting of neutrons is shown in animation 7:40. Actual nuclear explosions 8:00. Animation of a nuclear reactor 8:15. Animation on radioisotopes 8:40. Scientist works carefully with uranium and other radioactive materials 8:48. Radiation detectors are shown 9:11. A Geiger counter is used to detect radiation 9:22. Radium E 9:48. Cobalt 60 10:03. Animation shows how different substances can stop alpha, beta and gamma rays 10:33. Radioactive animation 10:47. Health physics department is shown 11:20. Man in a hospital bed 11:37. Radiation is energy given off by matter in the form of rays or high-speed particles. All matter is composed of atoms. Atoms are made up of various parts; the nucleus contains minute particles called protons and neutrons, and the atom's outer shell contains other particles called electrons. Electromagnetic radiation emitted by an atom as a result of its orbital electrons passing from a higher to a lower energy level.
Antoine Henri Becquerel (15 December 1852 - 25 August 1908) was a French engineer, physicist, Nobel laureate, and the first person to discover evidence of radioactivity. For work in this field he, along with Marie Skłodowska-Curie (Marie Curie) and Pierre Curie, received the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics. The SI unit for radioactivity, the becquerel (Bq), is named after him

This discovery will be hugely beneficial to mankind, we could use it to generate electricity so cheaply that they won't bother metering it, and best of all, it will be perfectly safe!! Thank you scientists!!
Yeah. I remember that too so cheap to produce it's not even worth paying for.
@@johnkern7075 Indeed, we were conned again, then they came out with the "Common Market" and we fell for that as well, for a while.
Scientists can be so scientific!
And we could do it if it weren't for the bleeding hearts who run the West and the nuclear regulatory agencies.
Can you name a safer source of electrical energy?
Good film of basic 1950's understanding of radiation. It does turn Madame Curie into a prop for her husband, she was really the better scientist.
Thank you 🙏. For all of them.
There at the end. Dr. Here you just hold this while I turn it on.
I thought a bio shock video had started. love that 50's presenter voice
Radium makes great smoothies! Makes you regular. :-)
With a friend like the Friendly Atom, who needs enemies?
The dating and decay properties we learned about upset a lot of sacred fables place in history.
2 years after this film, everyone in it was dead
Wow they are allowed to handle cobalt-60 with bare hands back in those days!
The teacher looks like Henri Richard, the great center for the Montreal Canadiens. He won 11 Stanley Cups!
Probably does not exist but dressed up with large explosions . Free energy is abundant and accessible and is what is being used .
Marie Curie is portrayed as Pierre's wide-eyed student rather than a researcher in her own right.
I was just about to make the same comment.
@@iroll All she knew about radiation was taught to her by Becquerel, apparently. It was the '50s and the filmmakers couldn't conceive of a woman being anything more than a lab assistant. By the way, isn't the actor playing Pierre the same guy playing Becquerel, just with a better trimmed beard?
That’s the 1950’s for ‘ya. Forget that in the ‘40’s women stepped up into many roles vacated by men during WWII.
Makes me cringe watching them handle that thinking it was no big deal. 😱
The risks involved in radioactive materials is very misunderstood.
Very, very, VERY misunderstood.
There's no such things as "safe level". Just worsening degree of cell damage with exposure.
@@satanofficial3902 You best not eat any bananas then.
It really is no big deal. When you're actually educated on the topic, you know when to stay away from something and when it's harmless. Instead of just mindlessly fearing anything that someone else labels as "radiation".
Nuking a cornfield.
If you are going to mention "billions and billions" you are required to do it in a Carl Sagan voice.
Hell I sprinkle plutonium on my cereal .. LOL
Originally released in 1953.
