Chronology
"when concerns about nuclear war dominated Western society during the Cold War"

If these are the two dominant factors, we should not have the period start in 1940. The notion that a nuclear war might happen did not arise until the 1945-1949 period, and the Cold War is generally understood to have started in 1947. When I've seen the term 'Atomic Age' used, it is *never* used for World War II, so I don't think a starting date before 1945 is reasonable. In the late 1960s, mass protest against nuclear power (as opposed to nuclear war) first started. That seems like a much better end point, especially as a new design aesthetic became dominant in the same period. I propose changing the dates to "from 1945 until the late 1960s". 82.176.221.176 (talk) 08:23, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
