Our ability to mine great amounts of energy from uranium nuclei has led some to bill nuclear power as a plentiful, utopian source of electricity. But rather than dominate the global electricity market, nuclear power has declined from a...

How is this powerful and controversial energy source produced? Do the advantages outweigh the dangers of nuclear power? Earth Science - Earth's Resources - Learning Points. Nuclear power is created using uranium, and small amounts can...

Overview of how nuclear power plants work.

Joe Lassiter is a deep thinker and straight talker focused on developing clean, secure and carbon-neutral supplies of reliable, low-cost energy. His analysis of the world's energy realities puts a powerful lens on the stubbornly touchy...

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...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how nuclear energy is released during fission of radioactive uranium. Light water reactors, nuclear waste, and nuclear accidents are also discussed along with the future of nuclear energy.

Atomic clocks are the best timekeepers humanity's got these days, but scientists are working toward something even better: a SUB-atomic (aka nuclear) clock.

Nuclear fission is the process used in nuclear power plants, which creates radioactive nuclear waste that is hazardous to humans. Discover how this nuclear waste is disposed of and stored. Earth Science - Earth's Resources - Learning...

Garwin part 1/11: In this video, Richard Garwin reflects on the significant events and challenges of the atomic age, including the Cuban Missile Crisis and the threat of nuclear proliferation. He emphasizes the importance of education...

Nuclear weapons are some of the most powerful tools of destruction on Earth, and the full scope of a nuclear detonation is almost unimaginable. However, there is a scientifically supported plan of action that could save thousands of...

When listing clean renewable energy sources, solar, wind, and geothermal come to mind. But thanks to new reactor technologies, there’s a transformation afoot. Some of the most ardent foes of nuclear power now believe it must be a large...

More than a decade after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster, its operators are dumping once-contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean. Is that OK?<br/>

Dr. Forrester explains that we rely on natural resources for powering our cars, and heating our homes. Natural resources, also known as nonrenewable, include oil, natural gas, and coal. There are a variety of renewable energy sources...

Garwin part 6/11: In this video, Richard Garwin discusses the historical context of nuclear weapons and the concept of deterrence during the Cold War. He highlights the massive number of nuclear weapons possessed by both the United...

Garwin part 8/11: This video features a conversation about the history of the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) and their work in reducing nuclear dangers and advocating for civilian control of nuclear technology. It also discusses...

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...
