COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
By SPECTATOR
I am quoting a very informative article on “Atomic En
ergy” by D. Nabow in Duke Power Magazine.
“In 1945, atomic energy made its first melodramatic
appearance on the world stage. It was unexpected, it was
an explosion of unbelievably gigantic dimensions and it
helped to win* World War II. The first wave of wonder and
of exultation was succeeded by a wave of fear. Men be
came afraid of his existence and. of the future of his civili
zation. A number of scientists whose skill and ingenuity
helped to split the atom were disillusioned and left the
field of atomic science because its usefulness seemed to be
pointed to death and not to life.
Slowly the wave of fear abated and in its place there
came a wave of unparalleled explosive enthusiasm focused
on the development of atomic energy for the benefit of
man. Heavy ‘pressures have been and are being exerted
to explore fully the potentials of this new source of en
ergy, both for power and for other beneficial uses. Con
certed action by Government, by scientists, engineers and
industry has caused a speed-up of research, development
and investment which has no parallel with any other develop
ment of thisi century.
You are told that our coal supplies will last us 1,000
years or more; or that our coal will be exhausted in a
century or two; or that important shortages will develop
within 20 years. There are similar conflicts of opinion on
the extent of available reserves of oil, gas and of atomic
fuels. On the subject of nuclear energy there are the blue
sky enthusiasts who see it as the means of mass eman
cipation of humanity from the poverty of the ages.
The peaceful use of atomic energy has been in the study
stage for only about 10 years and during most of this time
information on any phase of this subject was classified and
limited to the Atomic Energy Commission.
What i%Atomic Energy ? Energy is, of course, the ability
to do work. During earlier ages, man used wood for fuel,
and either muscles of man or beast, or wind, or falling
water for power. With the coming of the steam engine and
of the internal combustion engine and with the appearance
of electric energy about 75 years ago, we have entered what
might well be called the Energy Age. To supply the
motive power for this energy age, man has had to use up
enormous quantities of the energy of fossil fuels, coal, oil
and gas, stored within tlie earth.
During 1955, the total energy consumed in the United
Staes for heating, transportation, electric energy produc
tion, and all industrial uses came from the following major
sources:
Oil, 44 percent; Coal, 29 percent; Natural Gas, 23 per
cent; Wataer Power, 4 percfent; Total, 100 percent.
We see .that 96 % of our total energy was converted from
the heat energy in oil, coal and gas. Our bank account of
these fuels is being depleted and we are beginning to under
stand that when the coal mines are worked out and when
the oil and gas wells are exhausted, there will be no more.
Fortunately we have stored for us another source of en
ergy. It comes from the release of the immense binding
enrgy which holds together the atoms which are the very
tiny building blocks of which all matter is composed.
II Only a few very special materials can be used as atomic
fuels. At the top of the list is Uranium and next is Thor
ium. The distribution of Uranium and Thorium ores in
nature is believed to be so wide that there is no possibility
of any nation concerning the supply.
One pound of uranium, if it could be made 100% fission
able and if it could have a 100% burn-up would have 10%
of its mass converted into energy equal to 1,300 tons of coal.
