Back in the 50’s and 60’s there was some program or promotional campaign or educational video called “The Peaceful Atom”, touting the wonders of nuclear power. But when I think of nuclear power all I think of is Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and now Fukushima. Then I think how nuke plants are used to make nuclear weapons and I think of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Cold War, and now Iran and Pakistan and North Korea. Peaceful Atom, my Aunt Fannie!
