The Atom Goes to Sea (1954)

interesting clip of the advent of nuclear powered submarines. A simplified explanation with informative graphics makes it easily digistible with the factoid that 1 pound of u235 equals so many million pounds of coal or 250,000 barrels of oil is also quite telling. No wonder there was a drive for this type of propulsion.
The accompanying text reads as follows:

Explains how an atomic powered submarine operates. Includes scenes at the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory in Schenectady and the submarine reactor test site at West Milton, New York.
