Suid provides a step-by-step analysis of the feasibility of developing nuclear power and the acquisition of technology needed to generate electricity from the atom, explaining that President Harry S. Truman envisioned atomic energy as a supplement to power derived from coal, oil, and falling water. It was Truman's desire to control the production and use of atomic energy within the United States. He also asked Congress to establish a commission to determine how atomic power could be used to influence world peace.
