From four light bulbs to a natural reactor billions of years old
Natural nuclear reactor
There was a natural nuclear reactor in Oklo, Africa about two billion years ago. Fission reactions took place there spontaneously, long before the emergence of humankind.
Marie Curie at the front
During the First World War, Marie Curie organized mobile X-ray stations right at the front lines, helping to save thousands of soldiers.
The first four light bulbs
The first electricity generated from nuclear power in 1951 lit up just four light bulbs. The same principle powers entire cities nowadays.
