The $36 Billion Atom Spent On Nuclear Development
The Atomic Commission reports almost 36 billion dollars federal spending on nuclear development since 1940, covering military and peaceful uses. By 1946 the atomic energy law shifted control to civilians, with 1954 further pushing peaceful aims. Costs for 1954–64 neared 23 billion, with 7 for materials and 5 for weapons. The era saw rising weapons costs despite a test ban, boosting yield per weight and enhancing reliability, safety, and efficiency, contributing to deterrence of major war.
