S1E4 – Nuclear Power Plants Essentials – Fusion and Radioactive Decay
In this video we’ll again be looking into nuclear power plants, but this time we are going to spend less time on a part of the system and more at the physical phenomena behind it all. The fission process is what is used to create heat in the nuclear power plant, so we will start with that, before moving onto radioactive decay, which is a side process that reactor designers need to account for.
Diving deeper into this area will help us understand the complicated physical process that is going on, so we can make the best engineering plans later to control it all.
