The most phantastic ideas of Jules Verne have become reality today: the nuclear submarine ‘Nautilus’ might have come straight from his ‘Twenty Thousands Leagues under the Sea’. EURATOM was set up to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The atom will play an ever increasing part among the other traditional sources of energy. The fight against radioactivity and the harmful effects of radioactive waste is being pursued vigorously.
