Adm. Strauss was talking to science writers. From the field, writing to colleagues, C.G. Suits (GE's director of research at Washington's Hanford site - quoted in 'Power from the Atom - An Appraisal', Nucleonics, Feb. 1951) told a different story: "At present, atomic power presents an exceptionally costly and inconvenient means of obtaining energy which can be extracted much more economically from conventional fuels.… This is expensive power, not cheap power as the public has been led to believe." https://www.ieer.org/pubs/atomicmyths.html https://www.ieer.org/pubs/atomicmyths.html
