The atomic energy agency could be made responsible for the impounding, storage and protection of the contributed fissionable and other materials... to devise methods whereby this fissionable material would be allocated to serve the peaceful pursuits of mankind. Experts would be mobilized to apply atomic energy to the needs of agriculture, medicine and... provide abundant electrical energy in the power-starved areas of the world.

The nuclear approach I'm involved in is called a traveling-wave reactor, which uses waste uranium for fuel. There's a lot of things that have to go right for that dream to come true - many decades of building demo plants, proving the economics are right. But if it does, you could have cheaper energy with no CO2 emissions.

The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

Have no fear for atomic energy, 'cause none of them can stop the time.

I like to believe that people, in the long run, are going to do more to promote peace than our governments.

We believe in the principle that governments are properly established only when it is with the consent of the governed.
