Nuclear Power
How has Chornobyl shaped our understanding of nuclear power and its potential benefits? Created by the 2023 Digital Scholarship Summer Fellows at Bryn Mawr College, this exhibition contextualizes Chornobyl within a longer history of accidents and describes the basic science of nuclear reactors and was inspired by questions about the impact of disaster narratives on energy policy.
