""Nuclear Energy: The Issues. Nuclear power produces almost a fifth of the world's electricity. Supporters say it's safe, cheap and - best of all - the answer to global warming. Critics say it's not safe or cheap and it won't really help with the global warming problem, for a number of reasons. So who's right? This program presents the arguments for and against nuclear power with relevant background information. The science behind nuclear power is explained in more detail in the companion program 'Nuclear Energy'." -- CONTAINER."

"Almost one-fifth of the world's electricity comes from nuclear power. Supporters claim it is safe, cheap, and the answer to global warming. Critics call it dangerous, expensive, and hardly the solution to climate change. This program presents arguments for and against nuclear energy while exploring scientific concepts behind it. Topics include: the disposal or storage of radioactive waste; the likelihood and potential consequences of a nuclear power plant accident today; the threat of terrorist attacks on a nuclear facility; the link between nuclear power and nuclear weapons; and the question, 'Is nuclear energy really carbon-free?' Historical accounts focus on the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl disasters. Viewable/printable educational resources are available online.""@en
"This program clearly explains the science behind how a nuclear power station works. Basic version: The program covers the basics of how a nuclear power station works: what fission is, the role of cooling water in nuclear reactors; the nuclear fuel cycle: mining, milling, enrichment, fabrication; spent fuel: storage and reprocessing; other uses of nuclear energy, including 'non-power' uses. Advanced version: Additional: a specific example of a fission reaction; the use of water to vary reactor power; different methods of mining uranium; more detailed discussion of enrichment, including: structure and properties of uranium hexafluoride, two methods of enrichment: centrifuging, and gas diffusion; decommissioning of nuclear power stations."
"Guides viewers through the complex science and basic operation of a nuclear power station. Outlines the nuclear fuel cycle and looks at specific mining procedures."@en
"This program explains what nuclear fission is, how a nuclear power station generates electricity, what the 'nuclear fuel cycle' is and detail about the the nuclear fuel cycle, such as the science underlying fuel enrichment. There are also 'extras', outlining the basics of breeder reactors, fusion, and a example of fission products."
"Summary: "Nuclear power produces almost a fifth of the worldʼs electricity. Supporters say itʼs safe, cheap and - best of all - the answer to global warming. Critics say itʼs not safe, or cheap, and it wonʼt really help with the global warming problem, for a number of reasons. So who is right? This program presents the arguments for and against nuclear power with relevant background information."--VEA website."@en

""Harnessing the power of the atom is a staggering technological achievement -- but how is it done, exactly? This program guides viewers through the complex science and basic operation of a nuclear power station. Outlining the nuclear fuel cycle -- including mining, milling, enrichment, fabrication, storage, and reprocessing -- the video looks at specific mining procedures; discusses the structure and properties of uranium hexafluoride; highlights two enrichment methods (centrifuging and gas diffusion); illustrates a fission reaction; explains how a nuclear plant uses water in various capacities; and examines the challenge of decommissioning nuclear power facilities.
