Introduction
One small nuclear fuel pellet can provide the same energy as 800 kilograms of coal and produce less toxic waste.
Nuclear energy often enters public discourse when a major disaster happens, but most nuclear energy is produced without incident in power plants around the world.
So, how exactly does nuclear energy work?
In Understanding Nuclear Energy, a course from Delft University of Technology, nuclear experts and researchers explain the basics, covering atoms, fission, reactors, and nuclear safety.
The experts also discuss important questions about global nuclear security and the future of nuclear energy.
