Nuclear Physics is a collection of nine simulations to cover a wide range of topics in this area of physics.

You’ll use it to:

• Explain about Rutherford’s gold leaf experiment
• Get across the size of the nucleus
• Explain about decay
• Explore the nature of different radiations
• Explore penetration of radiation
• Explain about half-lives
• Describe fission, fusion and fission chain reactions
• Explore a fission chain reaction
