While we are not so positive about the hope of atomic energy today, this film shows some good science to help explain how the atom was discovered and works.
As I have posted here in another post (click here) LFTR technology using Thorium instead of Uranium could be one step closer to a better alternative to current more dangerous forms of nuclear power, such as the (LWR) Light Water Reactor. LFTR is much safer than than LWR technology and will use 80%-90% of the energy found in Thorium with very little waste. While LWRs use only .05%- .07% with a lot of waste. (That is not a typo LWR use less than 1% of the energy of Uranium!)
