The 1946 Law That Put America's Atomic Bombs Under Civilian Control
Original: The 1946 Law That Put America’s Atomic Bombs Under Civilian Control
A renewed look at the Atomic Energy Act of 1946, the law that transferred control of America's nuclear weapons from the military to a civilian authority. The measure, passed in the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, established the civilian Atomic Energy Commission to oversee atomic energy and weapons policy. Commentators are revisiting how the landmark statute shaped nuclear governance and why its civilian-control principle still matters today.
Why now: Heightened global attention to nuclear weapons policy is prompting renewed interest in the legal history of atomic control.
