fission

A retrospective on James Franck, recipient of the 1925 Nobel Prize in Physics.

In this special season of World War II On Topic, The National WWII Museum will explore J. Robert Oppenheimer, the Manhattan Project, and the history and ramifications of the atomic bomb. 

In this episode, Jason Dawsey, PhD, and John Curatola, PhD, historians with the Museum’s Jenny Craig Institute for the Study of War and Democracy, discuss the legacy of the Manhattan Project.

Ren, säker, och oändlig energi. Det låter som en önskedröm, men faktum är att det kanske inte är så långt borta. Runt om i världen forskars det på lösningar, och på ett företag i Sverige har man kommit ett steg närmre den heliga graal som är fusion. Peter Roos är VD för Novatron Fusion Group, och han berättar om nästa steg mot fungerande fusionskraftverk. Vi träffar också Moa Skan, doktorand i solfysik på Stockholms Universitet, och med henne pratar om var fusion finns naturligt i universum och hur det fungerar där.

This week, Dr. Arthur Turrell, author of the recently published book “The Star Builders – Nuclear Fusion and the Race to Power the Planet” joins the podcast. Arthur has a PhD in plasma physics and writes about fusion energy in a way that makes sense for the average person.

Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie asked Arthur: What are the advantages of fusion energy? How does it differ from nuclear fission? The National Ignition Facility (NIF) made global news this past summer breaking the previous records for fusion energy, why was this result significant? Realistically, how long before nuclear fusion is a commercial reality?

Tracing the history of the atomic bomb to the research into nuclear fission in the early 20th century. Scientists Einstein and Szilard warn President FDR of the possibility of Germany building an atomic weapon. Project Manhattan is conceived in the US and in 1945, a successful test is carried out with the Plutonium Bomb.

This is a re-upload of a previous episode.

In this episode Nick Walkden delves deep into the past, present and future of nuclear fusion. We discuss how fusion works, the science behind the Tokamak, the challenges for using fusion as a commercial sustainable energy source, and the advances in other areas of science being driven by work in fusion.

Nick is a Plasma Physicist, has a PhD in Physics from York University. He has spent his career at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, part of the UK Atomic Energy Authority.

Elles produisent près de 80% de notre électricité. La France compte sur son sol 19 centrales nucléaires. Vieillissantes, dégradées, certains rapports dressent un constat accablant sur l’état de nos centrales, alors que le ministère de l’environnement pense à prolonger leur vie de 10 ans… Tchernobyl, Fukushima, a-t-on tiré leçons de ces catastrophes ?

Sommes-nous préparés en cas d’accident majeur ou attaque terroriste ?

Entourés d’experts de la sûreté nucléaire, nous lèverons le voile sur le véritable état de nos centrales et sur leurs actions pour protéger la population. Jugé coûteux et dangereux, peut-on remplacer le nucléaire ?

Avec nos spécialistes sur les énergies renouvelables, nous débattrons des projets sur les énergies d’avenir, qui pourraient « peut-être », remplacer nos centrales.
