Скачать или смотреть Why Uranium Enrichment Changes Everything

Long before Earth existed, uranium was forged in the violent deaths of massive stars-scattered across the galaxy in supernova explosions and neutron star collisions. Billions of years later, humans discovered this ancient element… and learned how to split its atom.

But here's the catch: natural uranium can't power a reactor or fuel a weapon-unless we concentrate the rare, fissile isotope hidden within it. That process-uranium enrichment-is one of the most precise, demanding, and consequential feats of engineering ever achieved.

In this cinematic journey, we trace uranium's path from stellar cataclysms to silent centrifuges, exploring the physics that makes enrichment so difficult, the science that makes it detectable, and the profound choice it places in human hands: the same process that can light a city can also erase one.

No politics. No blame. Just the awe-inspiring story of a star-born atom-and how we've learned to live with the fire it carries.
