	United States Atomic Energy Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This action reflected America's postwar optimism, with Congress declaring that atomic energy should be employed not only in the form of nuclear weapons for the nation's defense, but also to promote world peace, improve the public welfare and strengthen free competition in private enterprise.
		Before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) was created, nuclear regulation was the responsibility of the AEC, which Congress first established in the Atomic Energy Act of 1946.
		The Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 put the regulatory functions of the AEC into the new NRC, which began operations on January 19, 1975; and placed the promotional functions within the Energy Research and Development Administration, which was later absorbed by the United States Department of Energy.

	The Avalon Project : United States Atomic Energy Commission. In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer
		The Atomic Energy Act of 1946 lays upon the Commissioners the duty to reach a determination as to "the character, associations, and loyalty" of the individuals engaged in the work of the Commission.
		On December 10, 1953, the Commission unanimously voted to institute the regular procedures of the Commission to determine the veracity or falsity of the charges.
		On June 3, 1954, the Commission denied the counsel for Dr. Oppenheimer the privilege of oral argument before the Commission but granted permission to file a written brief with the provision that the brief be presented on or before June 7.

	EBR-1 and Arco (the first town to be lit by atomic power)
		Uranium was in short supply at the time (it was not until the 1950s that large deposits of uranium ore were discovered in various sites around the world) so the viability of the project would be dependent upon a uranium 'breeding' process.
		The reactor was built at Atomic Energy Commission's Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago and installed at EBR-1 early in 1951.
		The reactor was proclaimed as a Registered Historical National Monument at a ceremony on 26 August 1966 attended by US President Lyndon B. Johnson.

	Nuclear Energy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		In the mid 1950’s, Lewis Strauss, chairman of the US Atomic Energy Commission, predicted that electricity produced by nuclear power would soon be "too cheap to meter".
		Far from being the savior to our energy needs as promised, nuclear power has never accounted for much more than 20% of the total electrical use in the U.S., which is less than 10% of the total energy needs.
		Nuclear energy has proved more costly than it was originally thought, both in terms of construction costs for plants and disposal facilities and in terms of environmental damage.

		And it says his work was funded by the US Atomic Energy Commission, which wanted to research the consequences for communities of the mass deaths caused by a nuclear war.
		He researched the effects of radiation on humans, and led the team that investigated the effects of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs on survivors and their children.

	Atomic Energy Commission
		The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) was authorized by the Atomic Energy Act of 1946.
		The Atomic Energy Act of 1946, also known as the McMahon Act, decided in favor of civilian control, but continued a strict government monopoly on both scientific and technological knowledge, and fissionable materials.
		The commission’s most controversial advice was that the United States should continue to expand its atomic bomb arsenal rather than develop hydrogen bombs, which the committee deemed to be too destructive to have any purely military purpose.

		The uranium delivered to the U.S. comes from dismantled Russian nuclear weapons, reducing the inventory of highly enriched uranium in Russia under the Megatons to Megawatts program.
		The consortium Louisiana Energy Services owns the British-Netherlands-German company Urenco, the world largest uranium supplier Cameco (Canada), the US power station and engineer companies Westinghouse and Fluor Daniel as well as the US power station operators Exelon, Entergy and Duke Energy.

	Too Cheap to Meter?
		Lewis Lichtenstein Strauss was the chairman of the US Atomic Energy Commission (forerunner of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the US Department of Energy nuclear program) from 1953 to 1958.
		Even if atomic energy eventually proves cheaper than coal, the remainder of the process of making electricity will be the same as now, so that the other 80 percent of the cost will not be reduced.
		However, the unit energy cost is expected to be within 20 percent of the competitive value, and its construction and operation will establish costs on which firm estimates for later and improved plants can be based.

		The NRC also devoted a great deal of attention to the safety of depositories for the disposition of high-level and low-level radioactive waste, which was a matter of public fear and bitter political controversy.
