re: ATOMS for Peace?

The phrase "Too Cheap to Meter" was from the Ike era, and was about how cheap nuke electricity would be. Of course, it never happened. The price of anything is determined by how much people are willing to pay for it, not by how much it costs to produce. The phrase later became the satirical title of a book critical of the nuclear industry, which I never read, BTW, so I will neither attack nor defend it here. I don't believe the phrase appeared in the story I mentioned.
