Film Summary:
Produced by Tokyo Cinema, Planned by Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Group
1966, Eastman Color, 40 minutes

This film chronicles the five-year construction of Japan's first nuclear power plant, the first reactor of the Japan Atomic Power Company in Tokai Village. Since controlling wildfire and seizing the first source of energy, humanity has continually sought new forms of energy, eventually acquiring atomic energy as an energy for construction rather than destruction.

This film traces the construction of this nuclear power plant in detail, explaining the core principles of nuclear power generation and nuclear energy control, and endeavors to provide an easy-to-understand explanation of the overall picture of nuclear power plants.
