Abstract:

In 1953 a prototype of an atomic power submarine was secretly and successfully launched. It is argued then that there not much of a step between this submarine and atomic-powered ships, airplanes or trains, and that atomic energy maybe the solution to some of the world's most difficult problems: use of sea water for industrial and agricultural use and disposal of human and industrial wastes. With the rising prices of conventional energy, the fall of atomic energy prices, and increasing demand for energy in general, atomic power is being considered an alternative revolution.
