Scenarios about 'atomic energy'
Atomic energy refers to power derived from nuclear reactions, particularly through fission or fusion of atomic nuclei, first harnessed for practical use in the mid-20th century. Its development revolutionized warfare through nuclear weapons and energy production through civilian power plants, creating both unprecedented destructive capability and the promise of abundant electricity. In alternate history scenarios, different technological timelines, regulatory approaches, or nuclear incidents can dramatically alter global energy policies and geopolitical power structures.
