The release of the movie Oppenheimer has led to a renewed interest in not just the scientist, but also nuclear energy. Adding to the buzz, Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum is coming up with an interesting science session called Get To Know Nuclear. This online session that’s being conducted in collaboration with the STEAM Academy is about nuclear science and its various environmental impacts; the science behind atomic power; and understanding nuclear terms like radiation, isotopes, fission, and fusion.
“In these times of climate change, there is a strong urge to go the nuclear way and stop burning fossil fuels. So it is important to talk about nuclear energy from the technological, and also the sociological point. The word nuclear has become the buzzword, thanks to the hit film Oppenheimer. We are going to share quintessential details of nuclear science with the students,” says Dr AP Jayaraman, a nuclear scientist and founder of the STEAM Academy.
