ADMINISTRATIVE REMARKS

About the Author

The man whose inspiration, genius, and perseverance created the power plant without which
Triton
’s voyage could not have been conceived has never been categorized as easy to deal with, nor is his high resolve entirely without problems for himself and others. But his single-minded determination, his idealism, his relentless insistence upon the right, and his love for the United States of America distinguish him as one of the great men of our time.
To Vice-Admiral H. G. Rickover, United States Navy, who made
Triton
possible, and without whom the fantastic power of the nuclear reaction would still, in my opinion, be harnessed only for atomic explosives, this book, without his permission, is very respectfully dedicated.
