This series shows, step-by-step, how an interest in cathode rays led scientists to discover x-rays, then alpha, beta, and gamma radiation, and finally to explore the conversion of matter into energy. Vivid computer animation helps clarify such concepts as nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. The series also explains how a nuclear reactor works, and examines the difficulties created by nuclear waste products. 6-part series, 10 minutes each.
