This would have been a great opportunity to review the original
French novel, given how you keep mentioning that you are Canadian,
and we all know that French is Canada's other language.

I had to look up the timeline: Construction of the USS Nautilus,
the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, began in 1952 and it
was launched in January 1954.  The Disney movie was shot over the
first half of 1954 and released starting Christmas 1954.

Also, _Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers_[1] was published in
1869-1870.  Radioactivity wasn't discovered until 1896.
