FOREWORD

This World Survey of atomic industry has a limited but important purpose: It is 
to demonstrate that industrial uses of atomic energy are already emerging as a 
practical reality in many parts of the world. The atomic energy revolution of which 
so much has been said for so long is in fact well underway and this volume shows 
how and where, and identifies some of the unprecedented problems encountered 
in putting the atom to practical social use.

Hopefully the Survey will help reveal to government officials and business leaders 
throughout the world the potential of atomic energy for their own countries and 
give them a better feel for the kinds of problems they will have to resolve to make 
use of atomic energy.

Perhaps some readers of the Survey may even be led by what they read here to 
investigate concrete possibilities and to make a start on the long series of decisions 
necessary to the accomplishment of important atomic energy projects. The Atomic 
Industrial Forum stands ready to assist any interested persons with additional 
information or other help within its resources. In any case, we hope, and indeed 
we are confident, that the Survey will perform a useful service in enlarging 
understanding of the practical uses of atomic energy and of the extent of its 
development around the world up to this time.
