There was a film entitled "The Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment" produced in 1969 [0]. Some staff (including the writer-director and cameraman)[1], titling, and some shots are the same (though the end credits of the look more modern). I wouldn't be surprised if they made both films concurrently, though the maintenance film might be later. Does HN support (c1969)?
