...answer is the atom-which, declared France's Louis Armand, one of the three, "will change our way of life just as much as the introduction of the potato." Noting that Britain has already launched a nuclear-energy program which by the end of 1965 will be producing roughly a quarter of Britain's electricity, the three experts said that the Euratom countries must do likewise. Since their population is three times Britain's, their target must be substantially greater. They called for 15 million kw. of nuclear electricity...
