ATOMS MUST SERVE MAN

For a long time scientists could not discover the secret of this atom. They had to work hard1 in order to create a new atomic technique. using this technique man is able to make new discoveries in the field of nuclear energy. Now the energy of the atom can be obtained.

Atomic energy finds such wide and varied application in our life that our age might be called the age of atom. It may be used to light and heat our homes and drive our machines. This energy is to find application in transport. We shall be able to cover long distances with small quantities of fuel. In fact2, there is hardly any sphere of life where any sphere of life where atom may not find useful application. We already produce electric energy at atomic power plants.

The resources of coal and oil cannot last more than several hundred years. The resources of atomic energy are practically unlimited. Uranium and thorium can provide it for hundreds of centuries.

The ability of the atom to form so called3 «radioactive isotopes» is very important. These elements have the same chemical properties as the natural elements but they possess the property of radiation. Such radioactive elements can be widely used in medicine, agriculture an industry.

The atom is a mighty force. The people of good will are struggling for the peaceful use of atomic energy all over the world4.
