The United States Atomic Energy Commission, commonly known as the AEC, was an agency of the United States government established after World War II by U.S. Congress to foster and control the peacetime development of atomic science and technology. President Harry S. Truman signed the McMahon/Atomic Energy Act on August 1, 1946, transferring the control of atomic energy from military to civilian hands, effective on January 1, 1947. This shift gave the members of the AEC complete control of the plants, laboratories, equipment, and personnel assembled during the war to produce the atomic bomb. This visit to centers for peaceful nuclear science and technology in the Soviet Union concluded the third set of reciprocal visit by chairmen of the United States Atomic Energy Commission and the U.S.S.R. state Committee on Atomic Energy. Each of these visits followed the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation in the peaceful uses of atomic energy pursuant to agreements between the United States of America and the USSR on exchanges in scientific, technical, educational, cultural, and other fields, and each visit has been followed by expanded exchanges of visits by specialists and of information on various aspects of the peaceful uses of atomic energy.
