Nuclear power & fusion

Nuclear power & fusion sits within Earth, Energy & Environment. Consider the connections between natural processes, engineered systems, resources, and public choices. This selection contains 51 catalog videos from 39 distinct channels. The examples below offer specific entry points into the subject, with their own vocabulary and scope, rather than a prescribed sequence of lessons.

Recurring catalog topics include nuclear power, nuclear energy, nuclear waste, chernobyl, fusion and thorium. These tags describe overlapping directions within the collection; an individual video may connect several of them. Recorded formats include commentary, demo, documentary, explainer, interview, lecture, other, podcast and talk. Use those differences to choose between approaches to the subject and to compare how different contributors frame related questions.

“Breakthrough in Nuclear Fusion? - Prof. Dennis Whyte”, listed under MIT Club of Northern California, is cataloged as talk. MIT's Prof. Dennis Whyte explains the ARC/SPARC compact tokamak approach, in which new high-temperature superconducting magnets allow smaller and cheaper fusion reactors. He covers fusion physics, performance trends and the engineering path…

“Should Google Go Nuclear? Clean, cheap, nuclear power (no, really)”, listed under GoogleTalksArchive, is cataloged as talk. Robert Bussard's 2006 Google Tech Talk on inertial electrostatic confinement fusion, a compact approach he argued could be cheap and clean, using boron-hydrogen fuel without neutron radiation. It runs about 93 minutes…
