Uranium, an environmental concern

Learn about the use of uranium in nuclear energy, its environmental risks and the challenges that its management poses for health and ecological balance.

1. The natural process of radioactivity

2. Fusion

3. Fission

4. Different types of radioactivity

5. Chemical and nuclear reactions

6. Effects of nuclear reactions

7. Radioactive waste

8. The nuclear power plants of Spain

9. Self-evaluation test

In this educational itinerary, radioactivity is explained in detail; both the natural process and the different types of radioactivity emitted by nuclear power plants. It also includes interactive activities to distinguish nuclear reactions from chemical reactions. Finally, all adverse effects on the health of radioactivity are exposed. Animations and interactive activities are combined at all times to facilitate learning and increase motivation to study.
