	Atoms for Peace +50
		December 8, 2003, marked the fiftieth anniversary of US President Dwight Eisenhower's "Atoms for Peace" speech, which led to greater international cooperation in nuclear science and technology, and eventually to the establishment of the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency (www.iaea.org).
		It was against that background that US President Dwight Eisenhower gave a speech to the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 8, 1953 that subsequently got titled "Atoms for Peace".
		Fourth - open up a new channel for peaceful discussion, and initiate at least a new approach to the many difficult problems that must be solved in both private and public conversations, if the world is to shake off the inertia imposed by fear and is to make positive progress towards peace.

	Atoms for Peace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Atoms for Peace" was the title of a speech delivered by Dwight D. Eisenhower to the UN General Assembly in New York City on December 8, 1953.
		The speech was possibly a tipping point for international focus on Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, even during the early stages of the Cold War.
		Eisenhower's invoking of "...those same great concepts of universal peace and human dignity which are so clearly etched in..." the UN Charter, placed new emphasis upon the US's grave responsibily for its nuclear actions - past, present and future.

	Atoms for Peace: A perspective from the IAEA
		Indeed, I believe the real contribution of the Agency in advancing Atoms for Peace can be measured in terms of its parallel progress on these mutually reinforcing, interdependent fronts - while maintaining, and when necessary adjusting, the sometimes precarious balance between them.
		Of course, it is essential to acknowledge straight away that certain peaceful applications can in some instances bring a peaceful nuclear programme precariously close to weapons capability.
		In 1953, however, the peaceful application of greatest interest and promise was, as you know, nuclear power - which, according to the original vision in Atoms for Peace, would bring "abundant electrical energy in the power starved areas of the world".

		But many popular narratives of the program begin with Dwight Eisenhower’s famous December 1953 “Atoms for Peace” speech at the United Nations, giving the impression that the program as we know it and its consequences were the logical result of the proposals contained in the speech.

		When President Eisenhower put forward his “Atoms for Peace” proposal 50 years ago, he presented a surprisingly optimistic worldview, characterized by the spread of peaceful nuclear technology, a means to control the arms race, and a way to halt the spread of nuclear weapons.
		But like the “Atoms for Peace” proposal that fathered it, the NPT was crafted in a different era — and it is beginning to show its age.
		At the time of President Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace” speech, the threat of a radiological dispersion device, or “dirty bomb,” was hardly a central concern.

		It can even be done under the guise of Atoms for Peace, ostensibly to gain experience in handling the "fuel of the future." Eisenhower's 1953 speech had skirted around this uncomfortable truth.
		From this it follows that although nations may agree not to use in bombs the atomic energy developed within their borders, the only assurance that a conversion to destructive purposes would not be made, would be the pledged word and the good faith of the nation itself.
		Atoms for Peace was merely a slogan, not a genuine objective.

		The main thing to realize about the Atoms For Peace program is that from its beginning in 1953 it was never what it was claimed to be and behind all its hype as being for the betterment of humanity it has always had a much more sinister purpose.
		The Atoms For Peace program was launched with great fanfare from the holder of the Oval Office in the White House on down.
		The Atoms For Peace Program must share as much responsibility as anything else for getting the world from totally outlawing nuclear testing a generation ago and its legacy is still haunting us today on many many fronts.

	Taking Stock of the Atoms for Peace Model
		More instructive from the perspective of the Atoms for Peace model, however, is the fact that this program was launched despite a nearly decade-long, multi-billion dollar effort by the United States and other countries under the Agreed Framework to give North Korea civilian nuclear power plants for purposes of generating electricity.
		But, if nothing else, this experience reminds us that the promise of peaceful nuclear technology -- even when the market value of that promise can be measured in the billions of dollars -- is not enough by itself to dissuade some countries from pursuing their nuclear weapons ambitions.
		In all cases, but particularly with respect to countries that have established a record of seeking nuclear technology in violation of their safeguards agreements, we need to explore new ways of making sure that nuclear cooperation is provided in a manner that does not afford a shortcut to achieving the bomb.
