...Ashes. The AEC does not claim immediate 100% efficiency. The accumulation of radioactive fission products as impurities in the uranium, for instance, will certainly cause trouble long before the action is complete. But the contaminated uranium could be purified and "recycled." The AEC did not say so, but there is a possibility that when the breeding process has been refined, the uranium can be run through the reactor again & again until essentially all of it has been turned into energy. The world might thus have a practically inexhaustible source of nuclear fuel...

By making these concessions in time, the Allies hoped to strengthen the democratic regime. The plan misfired when Chancellor Adenauer attempted to claim all the credit for himself. By declaring himself opposed to discussing the program with the Social Democrats, he seriously weakened the prestige of parliamentary procedure and the validity of the contract. In protest, Opposition-leader Schumacher called Adenauer "Chancellor of the Allies," and was suspended from the House. Fortunately his party...
