EURATOM

The European Atomic Energy Community, along with the Coal and Steel Community and the Common Market, is one of the three legs of the tripod foundation of the European Union.

EURATOM at the Atomium — Permanent Exhibition, catalog of displays in the centerpiece structure of the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair (early 1960s ; a retrospective of the Fair now occupies this space, and we have been unable to trace what happened to the displays)
