That year J. Robert Oppenheimer told a national radio audience that "in the near future" it would be possible to generate profitable electric power from "controlled nuclear chain reaction units" (reactors). It was suggested that, after fIfteen to twenty-five years of development, mature nuclear technology could provide virtually inexhaustible, cheap energy given the abundance of nuclear fuel. Admiral Lewis Strauss, the Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, stated that atomic power would generate electricity "too cheap to meter" (A statement that, according to Brookhaven National Laboratories‘ physicist Herbert Kouts, immediately "caused consternation among his technical advisors" [Kouts, 1983: 3)). For a brief period it was thought that airplanes would fly using atomic power, and homes would install small nuclear reactors for heat and hot water. 1950s and early 1960s a small number of prototype nuclear In the reactors came on line in the United States. The first power plant protoype reactor began operation in Shippingport, Pennsylvania | 出版日期 | Book 1991 | 关键词 | Design; Evaluation; Intervention; cooperation; management; negotiations; organization; policy; politics; prod | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-3332-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-5471-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-3332-6Series ISSN 2512-3076 Series E-ISSN 2512-3084 | issn_series | 2512-3076 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1991 |
