Debate over nuclear policy, whether about nuclear weapons or nuclear energy, most often focuses on issues of the present or the future.

President Dwight Eisenhower's 1953 'Atoms for Peace' speech demonstrates how far back calls for nuclear sanity go, and the listing of nuclear-weapons accidents shows how dangerous it may be to ignore those calls.
