Abstract

There are few subjects that evoke a stronger response from most people than those assocd. with nuclear processes. The "power" of nuclear processes is not only E = mc2, but also rhetoric, saber rattling, threats, fear, anguish, and horror. We wonder how much of the vehemence of such a response could be attributed to misunderstandings based on inaccurate and misleading terminology.
