In "Using Nuclear Energy", we find out how scientists discovered nuclear power, what happens if you split an atom, and about the immense blast a nuclear weapon can create. We learn about fission, chain reactions, and how the science of the deadly Hiroshima bomb has been tamed to provide our homes with electricity. See how power plants deal with nuclear waste, calculate how much radiation is around you, and discover the many uses of radioactive material in our homes, schools, factories, and hospitals.
