Atomic Energy Generation Device Case The risks inherent in the utilization of this invention are unique in kind, cannot be prevented by the normal methods used in ordinary power devices, and moreover, are inevitable if the effect and function of the device are to be achieved. It therefore follows that the practical means to prevent the said risks should be part of the technical substance of the invention." Atomic Energy Generation Device Case The "Atomic Energy Generation Device "Case (原子力エネルギー発生装置事件) is a 1969 decision of the Supreme Court of Japan concerning the patentability of a method of transformation of atomic nuclei.
