The nuclear physicist

Description

Nuclear physicist Paul Stevenson attempts to show GCSE pupils at Uckfield Community Technology College in East Sussex how nuclear physics can be applied to a vast range of fields from medical treatment to electricity and even espionage! Although he confesses himself to be nervous at the prospect of facing a group of fifteen year olds rather than graduate students, Dr. Stevenson gives it a go, aiming to stimulate the pupils by breaking them into small research groups which then have to report to their findings to the rest of the class - with mixed results.
