The use of atomic energy promises vast possibilities for the mankind. In the
Beginning of this country. Einstein advanced the theory the matter is energy
And energy is matter and each may be converted into the other. He said that
The atom contained vast stores of energy that may be used in a thousand ways.
The problem was how to tame the atom and obtain and use its energy in 1938
Hahn and Strassmann succeeded in splitting the nuclear of an atom Uranium.
Later, it was found that they process of splitting the atom released enormous
Amounts of energy. Then on 2nd December 1942. scientists succeeded in
Obtaining the first self-sustaining unclear chain reaction. Today, s reactors
Which obtain energy from the atom are not very efficient machines. They
Harness only a fraction of the total energy available in the atom. Even this
Energy which is actually obtained from the atom is enormous. It is estimated
That energy in one pound of uranium is equivalent to that of three million
Pounds of coal. The research in the mysteries of the atom is going on in many
Countries of the world. It is hoped that before long better and more efficient
Reactors will be built. These will be able to obtain atomic energy at an economical
Cost. Atoms provide compact from of fuel which provides a vast amount of energy
And it also lasts longer. Atomic energy can be used in many ways and for many
Purposes. It can be used to bring peace and prosperity to the whole of this earth.
It can also be used to destroy this world and its inhabitants. It can do anything.
It can perform miracles. If we have the power and wisdom to use it only for
Peaceful purposes. If we do not possess that much wisdom. Man has not many
Years to live on this earth.
