Description
Students discover the incredible power stored inside the tiny atom! Through fission, the splitting of an atom's nucleus, or fusion, the combining of protons and neutrons from two different atoms huge amounts of energy can be released. They also learn that although nuclear energy is a clean, almost inexhaustible energy resource, there are safety issues that must be addressed.
