Abstract
- The article discusses the atomic taboos in the U.S. According to the author, atomic energy and sex have much in common. Both are crucial to survival and neither should go outspanned. By some strange social agreement, they are shunned in polite conversation. He stresses that youngsters appear to cognize more about them compared to their elders, and atomic energy, as sex, is beleaguered by curious taboos. From time to time, the two problems boil into public cognizance in the form of lurid articles in popular magazines. Other significant information relative to the matter is presented.
