Stranica 15 - Even if our use of nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes promises to contribute significantly to our material welfare, I still question its political advisability in terms of international understanding and peace.
Stranica 2 - WHAT IS A CONTROLLED FUSION REACTOR? The answer to the question "what is a controlled fusion reactor?" is best given today by merely saying that it is a device within which appropriate isotopes of light elements could be caused to undergo nuclear fusion, the end result being the controlled production and extraction of useful quantities of energy, in excess of that required to operate the device. Ingenious suggestions have been advanced for defining some possible forms such a device might take. Study...
