  • Abstract
    The widespread utilization of electricity is perhaps the greatest technological advance of our age; certainly, electricity has affected every aspect of our lives. For comfort, in summer and winter, we use electricity. For communications, worldwide, and from the basement to the kitchen, we use electricity. For safety, with giant early warning radars and with small household smoke detectors, we use electricity. Appliances cannot distinguish electricity generated by nuclear power from electricity generated by “conventional” means.
