Description/Abstract:
This booklet discusses the introduction of nuclear power to remote places on earth where the resources of civilization are almost scarce. It also discusses nuclear power plants designed for use when warfare or natural catastrophes have wiped out the usual sources of energy, and in places beyond the reach of oil pipelines and coal trains. It also discusses how nuclear power may one day be used to manufacture chemical fuels for the world's vehicles when fossil fuels begin to run out.
