ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION

In the aftermath of World War II, the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) assumed a pivotal role in the nation's nuclear landscape. They were entrusted with dual responsibilities: overseeing the development and production of nuclear weapons while also promoting the peaceful application of atomic energy for civilian purposes. Thus the AEC played a crucial role in shaping the nuclear policies of the United States and, in turn, significantly influencing the course of the Cold War.

Welcome to the AEC, where you will take on the roles of eminent scientists at one of the most critical junctures in nuclear history. Our committee convenes in a time of global tension, marked by the ominous echoes of the Soviet Union's successful test of the hydrogen bomb. The rampant nuclear proliferation in recent years will compel us to engage in intricate debates revolving around technical prowess, ethical considerations, and diplomatic strategies. Welcome to a committee where history's defining moments await your deliberation.
