Lecture 14: Is Nuclear Power Safe? Calculating the Number of Deaths Caused by Nuclear Accidents (old)

Name: Lecture 14: Is Nuclear Power Safe? Calculating the Number of Deaths Caused by Nuclear Accidents (old)
Uploaded: 2026-07-20T14:59:22Z
Duration: 1 h 15 min 46 s
Description: The lecture looks at estimates of cancer deaths from major nuclear reactor accidents, including Fukushima and Chernobyl, and also estimates of the expected number of fatalities from a typical accident. The result is compared to other energy sources to compute a final deaths/TWh result.
