The History of Nuclear Power

Nuclear power is one of the most controversial technologies ever created, born from scientific brilliance, shaped by war, and shadowed by fear. In this episode of Compact History, we trace the story of nuclear power from early atomic theory and wartime urgency to civilian reactors, energy crises, disasters, and the ongoing debate over its future. It is a history of promise, anxiety, and consequences that still shape global energy policy today.
