To address the technology, waste, safety and security issues concerning nuclear energy, the UN established the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 1957, a few years after U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower s famous Atoms for Peace speech before the United Nations General Assembly.

The world use of nuclear power to supply a nation s electricity varies widely by country. France, for example, gets around 75% of its electricity from nuclear power, and several other European countries get over half of their energy from this source. Approximately 20% of the electricity in the United States comes from 103 operating nuclear power plants. Nuclear is second only to coal, 50%, and ahead of natural gas, 15%, hydropower, 8%, and oil, 3%, as a source of electrical energy. Although once hailed by President Eisenhower in the 1950s as a safe, clean, and economical source of power, the US. nuclear industry has fallen on hard times in the last twenty-five years.

The commitment of a large part of the British army to the Mediterranean and elsewhere meant that of the thirty-five divisions required for the cross-Channel invasion of France, only sixteen would be British, and that subsequent reinforcements would have to come from the United States. The overriding importance of the cross-Channel operation was such that from April to September 1944 the direction of Bomber Command was transferred to the American Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in North-West Europe, General Dwight Eisenhower. The appointment of Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Tedder as deputy supreme commander, with his experience of air co-operation in North Africa, ensured that optimal use was made of Allied air power.

In the summer of 1952 a revised version of the Global Strategy paper was taken by Slessor to the United States, where General Bradley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, criticised what he saw as its likely deleterious effects on attempts to build up NATO s conventional forces. Nevertheless, from January 1953 the new Eisenhower administration, faced with pressures from rising defence expenditure on the... 

In mid-1959 the Minister of Defence, Sandys, on the advice of his permanent secretary, Powell, established an independent British Nuclear Deterrent Smdy Group, with representatives of the three services, the Foreign Office and the Treasury, under Powell s chairmanship. The group compared Blue Streak with two American ballistic missiles, the submarine-launched Polaris and the air-launched Skybolt. Rising estimates for the costs of research and development and of underground silos hardened the Treasury s opposition to Blue Streak, and the Chiefs of Staff were in favour of a mobile system. Once President Eisenhower had indicated to Macmillan in March 1960 that Skybolt would be available on satisfactory terms, the Defence Committee took the decision to cancel Blue Streak as a weapons system. The vulnerable Thors were taken out of service by the end of 1963. 

Economics and politics also intersected in Whitehall s perception in 1956 of the Soviet Union as a threat to Britain s share of international trade. In May of that year, when arguing that Britain could not afford a policy of perfection in defence, Eden noted that there was evidence that the Russians intended to concentrate on industrial exports. In order to be able to meet this competition, part of the burden placed on British industry by defence orders must be reduced, so as to release resources for civil production. In present circumstances, he said, economic failure was a more serious risk than global war, and defence plans had to be adjusted to this revised political assessment. He added that a recent report from the ambassador in Washington showed that President Eisenhower was thinking along the same lines.The Russians made no secret of their intentions. In November 1957 Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet leader, declared in a visit to the United States in the peaceful field of trade we declare a war. The threat to the United States is not in the intercontinental ballistic missile but in the field of peaceful production. We are relentless in this and will prove the superiority of our system. ... 

Public Law 85-883, approved by President Eisenhower on September 2,1958, added a new responsibility to the office. It authorizes 10,000,000 for the design, construction, and operation of five saline water conversion plants to demonstrate the reliability, engineering, operating, and economic potentials of sea or brackish water conversion processes.
