Nuclear matters
Nine imaginative and daring interactive displays where you can have amazing fun while learning all about nuclear science.
Nuclear matters reveals how many things in everyday life, including ourselves, are slightly radioactive. Fundamental questions as what is radiation and how is it produced are answered. The exhibition also examines the many applications of nuclear technology from medical diagnosis and the treatment of cancer, to determining the structures of materials to generating power. Also displayed are materials used to shield workers from radiation, means of dealing with nuclear waste and a nuclear suit.
