Atomic Energy And The Law: A Bibliography, Eileen M. Murphy

Vanderbilt Law Review

To compile a bibliography, it is a prerequisite that one be a lover of books. It is hoped that this paper will be of assistance to those in need and secondarily, that it might possibly open the world of the bibliophile to many others and give Brooklyn a little competition. Atomic energy is a fascinating field for the bibliographer; the surface has yet to be scratched. The work presented is divided into seven sections:

I. Atomic Energy Legislation, 1946-1958.

II. Publications of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, 1945/46-1958.

III. Books. (Annotated.)

IV. Periodicals-U. S. and Foreign. (Annotated.)

V. Selected …

Insurance - Federal Regulation - Authority Of Federal Trade Commission To Regulate False Advertising By Insurance Companies As Affected By The Mccarran-Ferguson Act, Charles C. Moore S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Petitioner, the FTC, issued cease and desist orders prohibiting respondent health and accident insurance companies, doing business in interstate commerce, from disseminating allegedly false and deceptive advertising through the medium of local agents. These orders, issued pursuant to the FTC act, sought to proscribe such activity both in states that had statutes prohibiting unfair and deceptive practices and in states that did not. The Courts of Appeals for the Fifth and Sixth Circuits concluded that the FTC had no authority to regulate such advertising in states which had prohibitory legislation. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, …

International Cooperation In The Peaceful Uses Of Atomic Energy, David F. Cavers

Vanderbilt Law Review

Today cooperation in the peaceful uses of atomic energy is occurring under bilateral agreements between the major atomic powers--the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union--and many other nations. Schemes of cooperation on a regional basis are well advanced in Europe and are emerging elsewhere. A new international agency with an almost world-wide constituency, Communist China being the chief omission, has come into being. After a three-year interval, the second of two great international conferences for the exchange of knowledge concerning nuclear fission and thermonuclear fusion was held in Geneva in the past summer. At Geneva, American scientists …

Effects Of Radiation On Man, Clinton C. Powell

Vanderbilt Law Review

Shortly after the discovery of natural radioactivity and of x-rays(now more properly known as roentgen rays) during the final decade of the last century, it became apparent that these invisible radiations could produce serious effects on the human body in a relatively short period of time. Three or four decades ago additional effects became apparent in individuals who had received relatively large radiation exposures. The cumulative nature of radiation effects and the fact that detectable changes may be delayed for many years have become increasingly apparent with the passage of time. The rapid expansion in potential exposure accompanying the discovery …

Tort Liability For Radiation Injuries, E. Blythe Stason

Vanderbilt Law Review

The discovery that atomic chain reaction will produce substantial quantities of heat together with highly radioactive by-products gives rise to anticipation of an entirely new technology and of many newlines of industrial, medical, and agricultural endeavor. In due course widespread use will be made of the potentialities of this new source of energy.At the same time the likelihood of personal and property injuries resulting from overexposure to radiation brings about a new hazard against which protection must be afforded so far as it is possible to do so. The health and safety codes that are now being formulated at national, …

The Law Of Reactor Safety, Harold P. Green

Vanderbilt Law Review

Nuclear reactors are devices for creating and controlling nuclear chain reactions. Reactors come in many sizes and shapes and have various uses. The most dramatic and probably the most important use of reactors from the economic standpoint is to provide power in the form of electricity or heat. Some such power reactors may be stationary; others may be mobile, e.g., those which exist to provide propulsive force and hence move from place to place with their vehicle. Other reactors may be used for various industrial purposes such as for the testing of materials. Still other reactors are used primarily for …

Workmen's Compensation And Radiation Injury, Gerald L. Hutton

Vanderbilt Law Review

The utilitarian and research value of radioisotopes, x-ray and fluoroscopic devices, cyclotrons and other particle accelerators, nuclear reactors, and other materials or devices emitting ionizing radiation is unquestioned. Ionizing radiation, however, can prove harmful as well as beneficial depending upon the care which is exercised in its use. Numerous cases of x-ray and radium injuries are reported in the literature, such injuries dating from 1896 when Roentgen first announced the discovery of x-rays. The most publicized cases of radiation injury are those occurring in the radium poisoning or "dial painters" cases in the 1920's. Unlike most noxious materials encountered in …

Antitrust Provisions Of The Atomic Energy Act, Richard Cosway

Vanderbilt Law Review

"It is ... declared to be the policy of the United States that... the development, use, and control of atomic energy shall be directed so as to promote world peace, improve the general welfare, increase the standard of living, and strengthen free competition in private enterprise." These are almost the first words of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 which, in stating the policy of the United States, establish the goals to be sought. As stated, the strengthening of free competition is a goal; it is not the device by which the other goals are to be achieved. Apparently of …

Federal Support Of Domestic Atomic Power Development -- The Policy Issues, James L. Morrisson

Vanderbilt Law Review

The possibility that controlled nuclear fission could produce useful energy was recognized early in 1939. During World War II developmental effort was focused on production of the bomb. Since the war, the U. S. atomic power program has grown to substantial proportions.By June 30, 1958, there were in operation in the United States one full scale civilian power reactor and seven civilian power reactor experiments, with a total rated electrical capacity of over 77,000 kw, as well as a number of military propulsion reactors and reactor experiments. There are currently planned fourteen power reactors in addition to the one now …

Recent Cases, Law Review Staff

Vanderbilt Law Review

In a hearing before the Commissioner of Investigation of the City of New York, appellant refused to state whether he was then a member of the Communist Party and based his refusal to answer on the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution. He was thereafter discharged as an employee of the New York Transit Authority pursuant to provisions of the New York Security Risk Law' which allows dismissal of employees of security agencies who are found to be of "doubtful trust and reliability." Without seeking administrative remedies, appellant brought a proceeding in the state court for reinstatement contending that …

The Lawyer's Duties And Responsibilities In The Nuclear Age, Leo A. Huard

Vanderbilt Law Review

This nation is now well into the formative years of an industrial revolution founded upon the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.' What we do as a nation in the next several years with this versatile tool which science has presented to us will literally determine the "shape of things to come" for ourselves and for the world. Among other things, this industrial revolution, like its predecessor, will force us to reassess and revise legal doctrines which have become fixed and familiar through time and widespread use. In simple terms, the coming changes in trade and industry are bound to affect …
