This video explains the process of nuclear fission and how it powers nuclear reactors to produce electricity. Learn how uranium atoms are split to create heat, which then drives steam turbines to generate energy, all while avoiding...

Watch a visual similation and explanation of the key events leading up to the Chernobyl accident. Starting with the reactor operating at 50% power, this simulation demonstrates the subsequent reduction to 30% power for a safety...

Understand how the Chernobyl reactor melted down and triggered one of the biggest nuclear disasters in history. This unvoiced simulation of the events leading up to the disaster creates a visual explanation of what went wrong on a...

The Chernobyl disaster was the worst nuclear accident in history, caused by a series of critical mistakes during a safety test. This video explains the relevant nuclear physics, models the Chernobyl reactor, and demonstrates how...

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.

Stuxnet, a powerful cyber weapon used to disrupt Iran's nuclear advancements at the Natanz facility in 2010, marked a pivotal moment in the history of cyber warfare.

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...

We just learned about relative dating, but if you really want to calculate the age of a rock, absolute dating is what you need. This takes advantage of the presence of radioactive nuclides that decay at a reliable rate, so it is also...

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

It’s highly unlikely to shoot down a missile mid-air. But there's more to it than that! Causing a nuclear bomb to detonate requires a precise orchestration of events, without which the chain reaction does not initiate and the bomb...

Having completed its construction in the Gobi Desert, China will test a thorium-powered nuclear reactor in the next two weeks.

Following recent developments, some are beginning to worry about the nuclear future of Iran. With the country dropping out of their nuclear commitments they are now free to develop nuclear technology, whether that be domestic or...

In episode 73, Jordan and Charlie investigate a new procedure developed by researchers at the University of Missouri that could be used to identify individuals exposed to uranium within the past year. Scientists and homeland security...

5 of the most unusual, amazing and interesting stars we've discovered in our universe. Red giants, supernovas, hybrid stars, orbiting binaries, large stars, old stars, small stars, we've discovered thousands of stars within our milky way...
