New to Nuclear Energy and Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons? Not sure where to start? You are not alone. We have been in your exact position when we started down this road; we didn’t know a single thing about the topic. We were biased and had preformed attitudes and emotions towards nuclear energy based on major events, news media, pop culture, or straight up propaganda. Here is a short list of places you can find objective information regarding nuclear energy and radiological sciences:
History of Nuclear Energy
PBS
World Nuclear Association
Diablo Canyon Power Plant (PBS)
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Library References
Student Corner
Nuclear Weapons Information
State of Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear Technology and Food Safety

What is Nuclear?
Don’t want to sift through all the sources above? What Is Nuclear is a comprehensive website created by Ph.D. Nick Torun concerning all things nuclear. It contains a wealth of objective information on the science and history of nuclear energy (including the problems, and the wacky interesting things you may never have heard about) all distilled in an exceptionally
well-organized format.
