Nobel Peace Prize for 2005 is to be shared, in two equal parts, between the International Atomic Energy Agency and its Director General, Mohamed ElBaradei, for their efforts to prevent nuclear energy from being used for military purposes and to ensure that nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is used in the safest possible way.

Maybe a little bit surprising, but in my opinion, wise decision. It emphasized the power of nuclear energy in today’s world and the importance of it’s peaceful use. Hopefully our children will not fear.
