This General Electric educational comic presents "The Story of Nuclear Energy," explaining atomic structure through a tour led by a guide demonstrating atomic models to visitors. The narrative covers fundamental concepts including how atoms are identified by their number of protons and neutrons, using nitrogen and oxygen as examples, and introduces isotopes through the discovery of uranium-235's unique ability to split. Scientists at George Washington University work on Lise Meitner's clues regarding uranium fission, ultimately leading to controlled nuclear chain reactions. The story concludes by depicting the Hanford, Washington reactor facility operated by General Electric for the atomic energy commission, illustrating how graphite and control rods manage the fission process to safely produce plutonium in giant reactors.
