Abstract
It is useful to examine the so-called “nuclear controversy” in the light of American experience, since it is here that it has been manifest in the protracted debates by scientists, laymen and the press over the pros and cons of this relatively new source of energy. I shall attempt, in the short time available, to review this experience and indicate the direction in which the overall course seems to be moving. In so doing, I wish to recount briefly, in approximately chronological order, the events as they have occurred and are ocurring. Although the specific issues have changed, the “controversy” is by no means over in the United States, and it is difficult at this point to predict with any degree of confidence what course will eventually be pursued.
