Atomic Energy: Inside The Atom

Introduces atomic energy and the basic processes of fission, fusion and radioactivity. Compares atomic principles and more familiar objects such as an apple that is cut in half, a once structurally-sound bridge that crashes to the ground and the chain reaction of falling dominoes., Uses the action of a radioactive atom in the radium on a wrist watch dial to demonstrate how atoms throw off matter at high speed. Shows characteristics of atomic energy and how the energy is used in power plants for various purposes., Uses the action of a radioactive atom in the radium on a wrist watch dial to demonstrate how atoms throw off matter at high speed.
