This video explains how atomic bombs and nuclear reactors work with a simulation. It also explains why critical mass is a confusing topic in nuclear physics. It depends on a lot more than just the mass.

We aren’t using nuclear fusion to generate power yet because it is incredibly difficult to sustain a fusion reaction. The energy requirements are very high, and it is hard to find materials that can withstand such high temperatures. For...

This video covers: - How the process of nuclear fission works - What a 'chain reaction' is - The pros and cons of nuclear fission General info: - Suitable for all GCSE and IGCSE courses - See below for whether it is higher or foundation...

The Nuclear Disaster of Chernobyl analyzes the nuclear disaster of Ukraine and Chernobyl and the effects on health and society.

This video provides a brief and concise explanation of nuclear energy. It highlights the two main processes involved in nuclear energy production: fusion, which occurs in the sun and involves the joining of hydrogen nuclei, and fission,...

Dom explores how fusion works and the current technology out there making it happen - including France's colossal experimental reactor, ITER, and the soon to be switched on Wendelstein 7X in Germany.

In this video, we explore the sources and processes behind nuclear energy, shedding light on its incredible power and potential.<b<br/>r/>

This video is part of the 12-part series, Forms of Energy.

What challenges does humanity face in the 21st century? Where will we find the strength and the ingenuity to overcome them? One huge challenge is centered on the ways we produce energy. Current methods of extracting fossil fuels from the...

Scientists have recorded a rise in fission reactions around the destroyed nuclear reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, according to New Scientist.<br/>

Radiation and fallout in Hiroshima vs in the Chernobyl accident. Hiroshima and Chernobyl both suffered a major atomic disaster, where radioactive atoms was released. Hiroshima was nuked by the uranium fissile atomic bomb, little boy...

This video is a lecture on nuclear fission and how nuclear power stations utilize it to produce energy. The video explains the concept of fission, the materials used for fission, and how the reaction occurs. The video also covers the...

Nuclear Fission In a nuclear reactor the controlled slow release of energy is used to heat up a closed loop of coolant which passes to heat exchangers which then boil water to provide steam to turn electrical generators. The output of...

The video explains two processes involving atomic nuclei that release large amounts of energy - nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. The video explains how uranium 235 can be made to undergo nuclear fission and also discusses the concept...

Energy Sources | Energy | Physics | FuseSchool There are many different sources of energy, how many can you name? Sources of energy include burning coal, oil, gas and biomass, solar, hydroelectric, tidal, wind, muscle power, geothermal,...

Radioactivity. We've seen it in movies, it's responsible for the Ninja Turtles. It's responsible for Godzilla. But what is it? It's time to learn exactly what nuclear reactions are, and what it is that makes atomic bombs so destructive,...

The video is a lecture on the topic of nuclear fusion, which involves the combination of two small nuclei to form one larger nucleus. The lecturer compares nuclear fusion with nuclear fission, which is the splitting of a nucleus into two...

Doodle Science teaches you high school physics in a less boring way in almost no time! GCSE Science

Understand the basics of nuclear power, including how it is generated through the process of fission in uranium atoms. This video highlights the use of neutrons and control rods to create a chain reaction, which ultimately produces...

Practical examples show how viruses and bacteria are both beneficial and harmful to humans. Animations describe the structure of a virus, and explain how they reproduce and cause disease. Microscopic images illustrate different types and...
