16pp - One of the very collectable "Take Home Books" series from the 1950s and '60s. 1st ed. . Back in the 1950s governments and the nuclear industry were selling people on the idea of nuclear power by telling us electric power, generated by nuclear stations "would be so cheap we won't even have to meter it." And now the British government is again promising cheap power and more relevant today perhaps, cleaner power, in its plans to build a new nuclear power option. This booklet asks the relevant questions, then and now, "what is likely to happen in our society and daily lives when we have mastered the atomic key to the future?" Better known for his books on the history of aviation, Hurren's interest in things nuclear began in 1944. He was a special representative for the BBC at the 1955 UN Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy. He also wrote ABC of Atomic Power.
