Nuclear power

The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

If reactors were safe, nuclear industries would not demand government-guaranteed, accident-liability protection, as a condition for their generating electricity.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;cause none of them can stop the time.

Third, states that face significant terrorist threats from within face particular challenges in ensuring that there is no successful terrorist attack on a nuclear facility or no terrorist theft of fissile material to make a nuclear weapon or dirty bomb.

Nuclear know-how without nuclear infrastructure doesn't get you very much. A racecar driver without a car can't drive. A pilot without a plane can't fly.

We are not bent on conquest or on threatening others. But we do have a nuclear umbrella that can protect others, above all the states to which we are allied or in which we have a great national interest.

Our children will enjoy in their homes electrical energy too cheap to meter.

In some sense, nuclear fission is not one of those developmetns in physics which arose logically and systematically in the course of progress. There was a great deal of accident and surprise in the process.

Fission is a process of deadly fascination; had nature chosen her constants just a little differently, we should have been deprived of its potential for social good and spared its power for social evil. Despite the former and despite the undeniable fact that the latter is responsible for nuclear and particle physics being decades in advance of what would otherwise have been their time, I know what my own choice for the constants would have been.
