S>Several viewing devices were built or purchased and various viewing aids were developed to permit examination of the core vessel of the Homogeneous Reactor Test. The hole in the core vessel was viewed and photographed from both the inside and the outside. A number of simple periscopes were designed and fabricated. A small television camera was purchased, and manipulators were built to insent it in the core or in the blanket. A radiation-resistant 21-ft-long periscope was procured which is 7/8 in. in diameter and has a 180 deg field of view. (auth
