There are many resources available on the internet to assist teachers at all grade levels in preparing
lessons, assignments, field trips, etc. about nuclear and radiation related topics. The links on
this page point to some helpful sources. Note that in order to prepare a balanced lesson, you
need to consider the source of the information. Anti-nuclear sources will play down or ignore
the benefits of nuclear technology while amplifiying its drawbacks and risks. (Many make no distinction
between nuclear weapons and nuclear energy). Pro-nuclear sources
will concentrate on the benefits. Some government and academic sites will try to be more balanced.
To get a truly balanced picture, try to get material from a variety of sites.
Other good sources of classroom material include your local nuclear power plant (most have extensive public
outreach programs, visitor centers, tours, etc.), or research centre,
as well as many of the web sites listed on our general page. More detailed information
on a variety of subjects can be found on other pages of this site. Consult our site map for more.
Some web sites may not be in English. See index here for language codes, such as JP / EN .
