THE NUCLEAR CENTER

An Introduction To Nuclear Physics

Most people take nuclear physics as the study of atom. But we have decided to show you the cooler side of nuclear physics and how it can be applied to life. No equations or boring thesis, we will present to you one of the most comprehensive compiled sources of information on nuclear physics. This site will show you the terrors of nuclear devastation and the good nuclear medicine has done for us, nuclear power working for us, and we will let you be the judge of whether nuclear power is a friend or foe.

This site takes its information from many other websites and has compiled it into a easily comprehensible, vast repository of information. The list of websites can be found under the section "Resources".

The National Library proves fruitless and devoid of info about N-physics...
