  • Résumé

  • In this episode, we have an in-depth discussion about different forms of energy production, focusing on nuclear fission and fusion. We start by explaining how most energy today relies on burning fuel and heating water to spin turbines, but this process is inefficient and dirty.

    We then explain the basics of nuclear fission - splitting large unstable atoms like uranium to release energy. We then move to nuclear fusion - fusing small atoms like hydrogen into larger ones like helium. This releases far more energy than fission, with no radioactive waste.

    We also delve into a recent breakthrough on nuclear fusion: https://www.llnl.gov/news/lawrence-livermore-national-laboratory-achieves-fusion-ignition
