Technicians on the walkway
The technician on the walkway is operating the hydraulic cams, which insert and remove the experiment facility (seen in the bottom of the quadrant) into the core via Horizontal Through Hole 1 (HT-1). Experiment 62-12, a setup to evaluate the fuel and fission product retention qualities of tungsten-uranium oxide dispersions (the dispersions were fission heated to anticipate the operating temperature of rocket fuel elements), was permanently installed in Quadrant A.
