Abstract
The potential applications of the gamma-ray laser are discussed to ill ustrate the potential benefit of the development of this field of nucl ear science, as well as the risks and responsibilities associated with isomer development beyond their current status as nuclear curiosities . The similarities and differences between the development of a gamma- ray laser based on nuclear isomers and the initial development of nucl ear science and engineering are compared.
