Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy
The discovery of atomic energy is an important achievement of the modern world. Atomic energy has given great power in the hands of man. It can be used for constructive as also for destructive purposes. It will prove a great boon if used for peaceful purposes.
Atomic energy is used for power generation and this power may be used for various purposes. England has used it for domestic use. America has used it as fuel in ships and submarines. Russia has also set up a number of atomic electric centres. There are such three stations in our country too. Atomic energy will bring about a great revolution in the field of agriculture. It can change deserts and mountains into fertile fields.
The days are not remote when atomic energy will bring about a change in the field of industry. It will help in producing electricity at cheaper rate. It will run our factories and mills. The use of atomic energy will lower the cost of production. Atomic energy can be used in the field of transport. It will drive ships, planes, trains, buses and cars. It will be a substitute for petrol, coal and electricity. This will make transport cheaper, quicker and more comfortable.
The use of atomic energy is a blessing in the medical field. It has greatly advanced the medical science. It has made possible to cure fatal diseases hitherto considered incurable. Today Radium rays are used for treating cancer. In the same way, atomic rays will be used to relieve pain and suffering of the mankind.
The atomic energy should be used for bringing peace and prosperity for mankind. It can be a good servant, but it is a bad master. Its use for destructive purposes must be banned. The world has seen how Hiroshima and Nagasaki were completely destroyed by two atom bombs in 1945. In short, the atomic energy, if used for peaceful work, will bestow marvellous power in the hand of man.
