  • Abstract
    The US Department of Energy´s (DOE) present-day problems are traced to the secrecy, isolation, and lack of outside assessment built into the agency that was its progenitor, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). The origins and history of the AEC are related, focusing on its unprecedented powers, the pressure to produce weapons, and the conflict between the need for secrecy and health and safety issues
