It is a place of shred-clothed beggars, gypsies, shrill urchins, stray dogs, pigs and piles of garbage. Whenever a new family arrives, the whole community turns...
When scientists first learned how to release atomic energy, they wanted it quickly and in staggering quantities-for the atom bomb. Later, and at more leisure, they were able to study controlled reactions-the relatively slow burning of fissionable fuel. They learned to build breeder reactors that can produce more fuel than they consume. They also built an atomic engine for a submarine, and they got to work on an atomic power plant for aircraft. But for all their concentration on military applications, scientists continued to hope that by splitting atoms in an orderly fashion, they could produce large amounts...
