A comprehensive look at the make up of the nucleus. What makes a stable nucleus? Radioisotopes and Fission vs. Fusion. A brief introduction to atomic structure sets the scene with students taken through the properties of particles that make up the nucleus including how and why some nuclei release energy and/or particles, with attention being placed to means of detecting ionizing radiation and uses of radioisotopes. Giving a historical perspective to this fascinating subject, the program also shows the sequence and importance of discoveries about the nucleus, including the major figures involved.
