Abstract
The attitude of and opinions expressed by Hannes Alfven at the Salzburg conference are criticised. The general opinion is expressed that much of the attitude amongst adherents of the new technology, alternative science and so forth, is due to a mystic-religious need, no longer satisfied by science and technology as a substitute for religion. This has resulted in an anti-technological wave, focussed largely on nuclear power. The conference, however, was primarily technical, and much progress was reported. The opinion is also expressed, based on early reactor and reprocessing work in Norway that the majority of the member states of the U.N. could in the course of a few years themselves produce unaided the raw materials for nuclear weapons. Diversion of nuclear materials from civil power programs qraws attention from the real problem, nuclear disarmament. A minor episode involving an Austrian opponent of nuclear power is described.
