For some years the U.S. Department of Atomic Energy has been developing the production and exploitation of atomic energy in order to create a new source of energy to supplement coal, oil, and gasoline. The U.S. has built two largish research establishments at Harwell and Aldermaston, one dealing with the civil and the other with the military side of research and development of atomic energy, though there is naturally some cross-tie and the work on the production of fissile materials. The U.S. has established at Harwell a major source of the world's supply of radioactive isotopes.
