A Is for Atom
A Is for Atom at SFlix. General Electric sponsors this explanation of atomic energy, detailing some of its uses besides the bomb.

The film argues that now, besides war, the atomic age holds promise for energy, farming, medicine, and research. The promise of the atomic age will depend on human wisdom.
