	Atomic Age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Atomic Age was a phrase used for a time in the 1950s in which it was believed that all power sources in the future would be atomic in nature.
		The atomic bomb ("A-bomb") would render all conventional explosives redundant and nuclear power plants would do the same for power sources such as coal and oil.
		As such, the label of the "Atomic Age" now connotes either a sense of nostalgia or naïveté, depending on whom you ask.

	Dawn of the Atomic Age
		Geology and astronomy seemed in serious conflict since the apparent age of the geologic record could not be reconciled with the only power source for the Sun then conceivable, gravitational contraction, which would exhaust itself in mere millions of years.
		Evidence began to accumulate that there were two principal contributors to the mass of the atom and the nucleus, one that was positively charged (later called the proton), and one that was neutral (the neutron).
		The possibility of "atomic energy" as a source of human controlled power thus came into existence as a concept, but without any known means of bringing it about - even in theory.

	The "Atomic Age" of Time Standards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		In 1949, NIST built the first atomic clock, which was based on ammonia.
		The first practical cesium atomic frequency standard was built at the National Physical Laboratory in England in 1955, and in collaboration with the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO), the frequency of the cesium reference was established or measured relative to astronomical time.
		Other kinds of atomic clocks have also been developed for various applications; those based on hydrogen offer exceptional stability, for example, and those based on microwave absorption in rubidium vapor are more compact, lower in cost, and require less power.

	The First Atomic Age
		The Atomic Age was not stopped by protesters, mismanagement, technical hurdles, economic hurdles, or heavy regulations.
		The true reason that atomic power has not yet fulfilled its promise is that the industry was established and operated as a socialist enterprise.
		About the same time that the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 became law, the USS Nautilus reported that she was "Underway on nuclear power." Her performance during the subsequent demonstration period made headlines.

	Albert Einstein and the Atomic Bomb
		Einstein's greatest role in the invention of the atomic bomb was signing a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt urging that the bomb be built.
		Research still proceeded slowly, because the invention of the atomic bomb seemed distant and unlikely, rather than a weapon that might be used in the current war.
		The atomic bombings of Japan occurred three months after the surrender of Germany, whose potential for creating a Nazi a-bomb had led Einstein to push for the development of an a-bomb for the Allies.

		Because of the post-war shortage of available uranium, the Atomic Energy Commission wanted to test whether a reactor could "breed" more fuel than it consumed while still serving as a source of power.
		Their success provided the foundation for the nation's atomic energy program, leading the Atomic Energy Commission to invest in an expansive reactor development program over the next two decades.
		In just twelve years of operation, the reactor achieved many firsts: it was the first breeder reactor, the first to generate usable quantities of electricity from atomic energy, the first to use liquid-metal as a coolant, and the first plutonium-fueled reactor.

	Fallout: Art and Design in the Atomic Age
		The tendency toward organic forms in the Atomic Age was, to a degree, a reaction to the geometric forms of the previous period.
		The tempered optimism of the postwar years fed into the ebb and flow of stylistic movements, and there was some thought that designers had perhaps gone too far in their focus on the machine.
		The new organic aesthetic of the Atomic Age 21 was the offshoot of a number of earlier movements such as surrealism and vitalism.

		But the arrival of the Atomic Age, and the brutal evidence of just how effective this new weapon was, tainted the ensuing peace.
		Those weapons require an implosion-type atomic blast to create the heat and pressure needed to fuse the nuclei of two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium.
		For such a fusion reaction to succeed, the fission explosion of the atomic bomb must generate temperatures equal to -- or greater than -- those found at the sun's core.

		The unleashing of nuclear power during World War II generated hope of a cheap and abundant source of energy, but it also produced anxiety among large numbers of people in the United States and around the world.
