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...

Nuclear power is one of the safest, cleanest forms of energy -- yet to most people, it might not feel that way. Why is that? Isabelle Boemeke, the world's first nuclear energy influencer and creator of the social media persona Isodope,...

Nuclear power may not be as bad as you think. If we used Thorium instead of Uranium, we could greatly decrease dangerous radioactive by-products. There is enough Thorium in the world to meet all our energy needs...

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...

Russia is developing the world's first floating nuclear power plant, which is expected to be operational by 2016.

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...

The floating nuclear power plant Akademik Lomonosov has been connected to an electricity grid and successfully produced power for the first time in the Russian town of Pevek. <br/>

The International Atomic Energy Agency has expressed ‘grave concern’ over Russia’s capture of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, but experts believe it is safe for now.

We asked our audience what they thought about increasing our reliance on nuclear power, so in this video, we're examing the pros and cons of building more nuclear power plants.

With the recent record high gas prices across the world, countries have had to look to other sources of power to supply their energy. So in this video, we look at why more Nuclear Power could be Britain's answer to the energy crisis...

We're not in a clean energy revolution; we're in a clean energy crisis, says climate policy expert Michael Shellenberger. His surprising solution: nuclear. In this passionate talk, he explains why it's time to overcome longstanding fears...

No matter how we make electricity, it takes up space. Coal requires mines, and plants to convert it into electricity. Nuclear power takes uranium mines, facilities to refine it, a reactor, and a place to store the spent fuel safely....

Kirk Sorensen shows us the liquid fuel thorium reactor -- a way to produce energy that is safer, cleaner and more efficient than current nuclear power.

Nuclear power: the energy crisis has even die-hard environmentalists reconsidering it. In this first-ever TED debate, Stewart Brand and Mark Z. Jacobson square off over the pros and cons. A discussion that'll make you think -- and might...

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...

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....

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...

On 11 March 2011, the strongest earthquake in Japan’s history caused a giant tsunami that killed more than 18,000 people along the country’s north-east coast. It also triggered a triple meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power...

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...

The U.K., U.S. and Australia have announced a security pact aimed at confronting China, whereby Australia will be provided with the technology to build nuclear-powered submarines.

Splitting the atom once promised to be the carbon-free energy source of the future. But today, nuclear power plants are aging and retiring worldwide. What happened?

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...

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.
