Module 3: Nuclear Physics
This module shows how knowledge and understanding of ideas about the basic structure of the atom lead to an explanation of radioactivity, nuclear fission and fusion. The development of the theory illustrates how scientific ideas are modified and also the tentative nature of scientific knowledge. These ideas are then developed to explore whether fission and fusion are acceptable methods for the production of our electrical power needs in the future.
