Understanding Nuclear Energy (Full Course)

Подробнее о видео

In this nuclear energy course, we will tackle provocative questions such as:

Is nuclear energy a good substitute for fossil fuels to reduce our CO2 emission or not?
Can nuclear reactors operate safely without any harm to the public and environment?
How much nuclear waste is produced and how long does it need to be stored safely?
How can we make nuclear energy clean and more sustainable?
How much are nuclear energy costs?
You will learn the physics behind nuclear science, how to gain energy from nuclear fission, how nuclear reactors operate safely, and the life cycle of nuclear fuel: from mining to disposal. In the last part of the course, we will focus on what matters most in the public debate: the economic and social impact of nuclear energy but also the future of energy systems.

What you'll learn:
*The basics of nuclear science and nuclear energy
*The operating principles of nuclear reactors
*The various steps in the nuclear fuel cycle
*The differences between current and future reactors
*The pros and cons of nuclear energy
