“…The origins of this promise can be traced back to the early days of research on radioactivity (Weart, 2012). After WW2, the U.S.' Atoms for Peace campaign, as well as international conferences, science exhibitions and media representations publicly promoted nuclear power as the ultimate solution to future energy problems (Spiering, 2011;Trischler and Bud, 2018). Nuclear energy was expected to replace all other power sources and ultimately lead to an age of peace and prosperity for humankind since it would "provide the power needed to desalinate water for the thirsty, irrigate deserts for the hungry, and fuel interstellar travel deep into outer space."…”

In a case study approach, the paper traces how technological expectations have been influential in the creation of European institutions, R&D programmes and regulatory instruments and how they have contributed to processes of European integration. The first case study shows how the promises of a coming ‘Atomic Age’ have been mobilized to support the foundation of the European Atomic Energy Community and, thus, contributed to European integration in the post-WW2 era. The second case study analyses how the security stream within the EU’s framework programmes for R&D is shaped by the promise of ‘technosecurity’ and enacts the normative claim of the EU’s security integration in the post-Cold War era. The third case study analyses how the EU’s AI strategy and AI act articulates the vision of a ‘human-centric AI’ and how this vision is related to the EU’s current attempt to restore citizens’ trust in times of crisis.

“…In the 1950s the Atoms for Peace program re-opened a future of modern comfort generated by nuclear energy, as illustrated in the slogan "electricity too cheap to meter" launched by Chairman of the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) Lewis Strauss in 1954 (Trischler and Bud, 2019). Thus, we see how memorialisation of Hiroshima established a nuclear order based on an intellectual divide between nuclear weapons and nuclear energy, morally tinged with the sense of bad and good nuclear technologies.…”
