The project links reactor heat to steam electric plant use while aiming to develop direct electricity from atomic breakdown and accelerate with an international atomic pool proposed by President Eisenhower. The pool aims joint US Soviet cooperation, though Dulles called much of it dead, and the plan includes avoiding a US monopoly and aiding development in areas vulnerable to Communist influence.
