THAT this story has not been properly plugged is due to several contributing reasons: 1. The bomb has scared too many people out of their wits, 2. The frequently quoted figure of $2,000,000,000 as the cost of the bomb has made many people think that atomic energy will be too costly for any good use. 3.
