List of U.S. resources for students at or below high school level about nuclear energy topics. Some of the pages are written for specific age groups (e.g., 14-16 years), and these are clearly marked.
Website developed by a group of young nuclear engineers as an information source about nuclear power. Topics covered: nuclear energy, nuclear reactors, nuclear waste recycling and breeding, radioactivity, nuclear engineers' mission and work, non-proliferation, global climate change, and more. Interactive educational materials include fission and fusion animations, a video about radiation detection, a quiz, and a bingo card game illustrating the latest developments in the industry. Common concerns and objections to nuclear power are also addressed.
The information level is suitable for high-school students and educators. :: Go to website
