    A black-and-white archival photograph showing two workers leaning over a rectangular tank or vat filled with liquid. A vertical rod or pipe assembly is inserted into the tank, suggesting some form of industrial processing or testing operation. The setting appears to be an industrial or laboratory facility with metal railings and piping infrastructure.

    Dummy fuel elements for the Army Package Reactor were loaded into the reactor core through the water shield, just as the ‘hot’ fuel was later. This operation was a preliminary to putting the reactor ‘critical.’ From the Office of History Research Collection, Military Images, Box 98 folder 5.

    A black-and-white archival photograph showing workers lowering a large cylindrical mechanical or scientific apparatus into a circular pit or shaft using chains and a hoist system. Several workers are actively guiding the equipment while others observe from a railed platform surrounding the installation area. The setting appears to be an industrial or research facility, likely mid-20th century based on clothing and equipment style.
    A black-and-white photograph showing four men gathered around a control panel in what appears to be a military or technical facility. A uniformed officer is cutting an anniversary cake placed on the console, while three other men — two in military attire and one in civilian clothes — look on. The setting features an extensive wall of instrumentation panels, gauges, and monitoring equipment.
    A black-and-white archival photograph of a U.S. Army military control room or power plant graphic panel, labeled 'SM-1' based on the visible placard. The panel features an extensive array of gauges, meters, recorders, switches, and piping diagrams mounted on a large wall console. The image is labeled 'GRAPHIC PANEL J-10002' in the lower right corner, suggesting it is an official documentation photograph.
    A black-and-white construction photograph dated December 4, 1956, documenting the AFPR-1 Project at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, managed by the Schenectady Operations Office under contract with ALCO Products, Inc. The image shows a construction site with a dome-shaped structure (likely a nuclear reactor building) and workers engaged in various construction activities. Construction is noted as 82% complete, and the photo is marked 'Official Use Only - Not For Publication.'
    A black-and-white construction photograph dated December 13, 1956, showing the APPR-1 Training Annex at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, taken from a southwest-looking vantage point. The image documents an active construction site managed by Young and Crary, Inc. under contract AT(30-3)-258 for the Schenectady Operations Office, with the project listed as 10% complete. The site is surrounded by bare deciduous trees and features partially constructed concrete block structures along a dirt access road.
    A black-and-white archival photograph labeled Figure 10421 depicting a Steam Generator Installation at the APPR-1 Project, Fort Belvoir, Virginia, operated by the Schenectady Operations Office. The image shows a worker in a hard hat working near an electrical penetration blast shield and vapor container wall, with a large steam generator vessel visible on the right. The photo is marked 'OFFICIAL USE ONLY - NOT FOR PUBLICATION' and was taken by ALCO Products, Inc. under contract AT(11-1)-318.
    This is an archival black-and-white photograph dated 20 November 1956, showing the installation of a reactor pressure vessel at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, as part of the APPR-1 Project under the Schenectady Operations Office. The image is taken looking downward into a large cylindrical containment structure, showing the reactor vessel being lowered into position using wire rope rigging and lifting hardware. Construction was 80% complete at the time of this photograph.
    An aerial black-and-white photograph of a mid-20th century building complex featuring a prominent hemispherical dome, consistent with a planetarium or observatory. The facility includes a flat-roofed rectangular wing, mechanical equipment on the roof, and is surrounded by a parking area and bare deciduous trees suggesting a winter or late autumn season. Several period automobiles are visible in the parking lot at the bottom of the image.
    A black-and-white archival photograph depicting what appears to be an early nuclear reactor facility, identifiable by its characteristic hemispherical containment dome structure. The facility includes auxiliary buildings, cylindrical storage tanks, and a perimeter security fence. Bare deciduous trees in the background suggest the photo was taken during late autumn or winter.
    A black-and-white archival photograph showing workers on top of a large dome-shaped concrete structure, with a crane lifting a cylindrical component into position. The dome appears to be an industrial or nuclear facility containment structure. Bare deciduous trees in the background suggest the photo was taken in late autumn or winter.
    A black-and-white archival photograph showing two workers leaning over a rectangular tank or vat filled with liquid. A vertical rod or pipe assembly is inserted into the tank, suggesting some form of industrial processing or testing operation. The setting appears to be an industrial or laboratory facility with metal railings and piping infrastructure.
    This is a color photograph of a small nuclear power plant facility, identified by a sign near the entrance gate as 'SM-1 Nuclear Power Plant' operated by the U.S. Army Nuclear Power Field Office. The facility features a distinctive black hemispherical reactor containment dome with the number '8' visible on it, a tall exhaust stack, and a corrugated metal auxiliary building. The image shows a secured entrance with a chain-link fence gate and a guard booth numbered '373'.
