WJEC Physics Unit 2 29 Nuclear Fusion H Deuterium nucleus 2 1 H Deuterium nucleus 2 1 Two deuterium nuclei approach one another The two nuclei collide Nuclear Fusion H nucleus. Chapter 25. Marie Curie was a Polish scientist whose research led to many discoveries about radiation and radioactive elements. In 1934 she died from leukemia caused by her long-term exposure to radiation. You will learn about the various types of radiation and their effects.. Is radiation dangerous? . Is nuclear power a good choice?. . What is nuclear energy?. Are nuclear energy and nuclear bombs both dangerous? . Guiding Questions. The Power of the Nucleus. Bravo – 15,000 kilotons. . Chemistry.
