”The HTRE-1 reactor first operated a modified General Electric J47 turbojet engine exclusively on nuclear power in January 1956. Operation of the HTRE-1 continued throughout the Calendar Year 1956, accumulating a total of 150.8 hours of operation at high nuclear power levels, exceeding the design requirement of 100 hours.” ”HTRE-2 operation started in July 1957 and continued during the remainder of the program, accumulating 1299 hours of high power nuclear operation.” I'm just wondering if there is video of these tests, I have looked for it but haven't found any.
