| − | | + | Smith’s essay discusses the advertising of atomic energy. He claims, “Nuclear power plants were to serve as badges of American technological and political superiority at home, and as adjuncts of atomic diplomacy abroad” (216-17). The AEC and other governmental agencies had to reassure the public that the new technology could serve another purpose besides destroying a city. Smith mentions that a AEC deputy director claimed, “‘in its civilian uses the energy of the atom should be described as ‘nuclear energy’ rather than ‘atomic energy’” (Pursell 217). “Atomic energy” is too closely associated with the mushroom cloud image and the fatalities of the Japanese. “Nuclear energy” sounds more like an alternative energy source rather than material used in a bomb. –Samantha W. |
