Atomic weapons, also known as nuclear weapons, are the most powerful devices ever created by humans by releasing massive energy from a nuclear reaction.
Cherenkov radiation is a fascinating phenomenon that occurs when charged particles travel through a medium resulting in a characteristic and eerie blue glow.
Unfathomable amounts of heat. Ludicrous temperatures and pressures. Ridiculous quantities of water and steam. How exactly do you turn all that into electricity?
The atom is the building block of the universe; the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist. But what lies inside?
Stars release unfathomable amounts of energy thanks to nuclear fusion. Learn about what Nuclear Fusion is, how it works, and what it can be used for.
Measuring and minimising exposure to radiation is a key responsibility of the nuclear industry. But how can we measure something that can’t be seen?
Nuclear fission is the process of splitting an atomic nucleus into smaller parts. This reaction releases an enormous amount of energy.
Radiation can be scary, but understanding it can help ease those fears. How radiation works, where it comes from, what it can do to you, and more…
