From the publication:
Introduction Since the discovery of radioactivity in 1896, our understanding and use of atomic energy has grown enormously Nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors are the most obvious examples, but the use of radiation is widespread throughout medicine, industry and science. This booklet explains how and why atoms are used for civil purposes. It does not deal with the issues of the safety of nuclear power, or waste. These topics are dealt with in other leaflets available from the UKAEA.
