Euronews Tech Talks

The Euronews Tech Talks team heads to the iconic Atomium monument in Brussels. Nearly seven decades after its inauguration as a symbol of nuclear energy, the Atomium still sparks questions about potential dangers and its role in helping Europe achieve its environmental goals. Typically, we start our episode series with a documentary, but this time we’re diving straight into the Q&A. Prepare yourself to get answers to basic questions like What is nuclear power? as well as critical ones, such as What should we do with nuclear waste? Hosted on Acast.
