	MSN Encarta - Atomic Energy Commission
		Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), civilian agency of the United States government established by the Atomic Energy Act of 1946 to administer and regulate the production and use of atomic power.
		The most important goal of the 1946 act, however, was to put the immense power and possibilities of atomic energy under civilian control, although nuclear materials and facilities remained in government hands.
		Under the Energy Reorganization Act of October 1974, the AEC was abolished, and two new federal agencies were established to administer and regulate atomic-energy activities: the Energy Research and Development Administration and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

	NRC: Our Governing Legislation
		The NRC was established by the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974.
		This Act is the fundamental U.S. law on both the civilian and the military uses of nuclear materials.
		The Act provides that the facilities will be regulated by the NRC or by States that have entered into Agreements with the NRC under section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act.

	Rosenberg v United States
		JUSTICE DOUGLAS for a stay and a writ of habeas corpus, contending that the Atomic Energy Act of 1946 rendered the District Court powerless in this case to impose the death penalty under the Espionage Act of 1917.
		The requirement of the Atomic Energy Act of an intent to injure the United States as a prerequisite to the death penalty (42 U. @ 1810 (b)(2) and (3) and @ 1816) was cited in the petition in support of the cruel and unusual punishment argument.
		The Department of Justice maintains that the Espionage Act is applicable to the indictment because all of the overt acts alleged took place before the passage of the Atomic Energy Act of 1946.

		The act provided for a five-member commission appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, as well as a military liaison committee which the AEC was directed to advise and consult with on all atomic energy matters that related to military applications.
		A civilian advisory committee to the AEC was also created and from 1946 to 1952 this committee was chaired by J. Robert Oppenheimer, who had directed the development of the atomic bomb but who opposed the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb.
		Although the bulk of the AEC's work was in the field of atomic weaponry, it was also involved in projects relating to the peaceful uses of atomic energy (e.g., the development of atomic power plants for the production of electricity).

		Research and experimentation in the field of nuclear fission have attained the stage at which the release of atomic energy on a large scale is practical.
		The effect of the use of atomic energy for civilian purposes upon the social, economic, and political structures of today cannot now be determined.
		If any provision of this Act, or the application of such provision to any person or circumstances, is held invalid, the remainder of this Act or the application of such provision to persons of circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected thereby.

		California's ban on the construction of nuclear power plants frustrates the Atomic Energy Act's purpose to develop the commercial use of nuclear power A. A primary purpose of the Atomic Energy Act is to promote the commercial use of nuclear power B. California's Nuclear Laws frustrate this purpose of the Atomic Energy Act 1.
		In short, the Act authorized the private use of nuclear energy "in the hope and belief that the substantial entry of private industry into the atomic energy program would speed the further development of the peaceful uses of atomic energy, a major policy goal of the United States." H.R. Rep. No.
		That Act explicitly provides that "the policies and provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.), and other provisions of law shall continue to apply to the nuclear research, development, and demonstration program." 42 U.S.C. 5902(b)(2).

	India: The Hazardous Mix: A Peculiar Act and the Perilous Energy by S. P. Udayakumar
		The Atomic Energy Act 1962 (33 of 1962) is supposed to serve a few specific purposes: enhancing the safety of the "ordinary citizens" of India; safeguarding India's natural resources and talents for the country's development; and controlling and using atomic energy for the welfare of Indians and for other peaceful uses.
		The Atomic Energy Act 1962 has indeed become a potent weapon for the DAE officials to threaten and silence the opponents and critics and shun any public dissension to their plans and projects.
		Thus the Atomic Energy Act 1962 would facilitate the fusion of secretive state, careerist DAE and greedy capitalists for private profit and the fission of Indian citizens' safety, health and futures for several generations to come.
