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...
