Showcase of nuclear energy

[A radiated affair (Eine strahlende Angelegenheit)]

 

[Have you ever heard of nuclear energy, radiation, or radioactivity? Of course, you have and if not, then this project will enlighten your mind. I will tell you who Marie Curie was and what she achieved in her life. Moreover, I will show you how nuclear energy is used today, and we are going to have a look of the nuclear accident in Chernobyl. I will also very briefly look at the atomic bombs. I will calculate some nuclear decay with the half-life-method, and I explain what the C14-method is. Finally, let yourself be surprised, what I have come up with for future nuclear energy.]

[I chose this project because nuclear energy interests me and I had a lot of different thoughts when I think about it. The path from the discovery of radioactivity to the present day has been a long one and has involved several catastrophes that have claimed many lives. I find it extremely interesting how people are trying to use nuclear energy for something good, even though the danger of nuclear war is always very present.]
