Best Nuclear power & fusion Videos
「Nuclear power & fusion」下面有51部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象:入门4部,适合还没学过的人;进阶12部,适合已经懂术语的人;普通向32部,按兴趣就能看;更硬的3部,留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是演讲,所以它们的共同点是一位讲者把一个判断讲完,例子是为了撑住这个判断。常出现的频道包括Google TechTalks、Illinois EnergyProf、Improbable Matter。目录给这个主题划的范围是:Nuclear energy: fission reactors, Chernobyl, Fukushima, nuclear waste, small modular reactors, fusion, ITER, nuclear safety, uranium, energy policy debates about nuclear.如果只看三部,就从《MIT's Pathway to Fusion Energy (IAP 2017) - Zach Hartwig》开始,它负责把问题讲出画面;然后看《Breakthrough in Nuclear Fusion? - Prof. Dennis Whyte》,换一种讲法或例子;最后看《How close is nuclear fusion power?》,留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开,顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月,不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明,用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看,把引用当成只是拿来举例,把批评留下来对照,不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。

Why renewables can’t save the planet | Michael Shellenberger | TEDxDanubia
Michael Shellenberger argues in a TEDx talk that solar and wind need huge amounts of land and mining, and says nuclear power is a better path to protecting both the climate and nature.

Wendelstein 7-X – from concept to reality
