Eisenhower Atom Plan Challenges Soviet Peace Use
President Eisenhower announced a major peaceful atom program worth a billion dollars to release 88,000 pounds of uranium 235 for research and power reactors at home and abroad. Half will stay in the United States for civilian use, mainly power reactors, while the other half will be sold or leased abroad for peaceful purposes. The plan excludes the Soviet Union and current producing nations from U 235 access, countering Bulganin’s claims of leadership in peaceful atomic energy.
