Nuclear power & fusion Videos Recommended on Hacker News (51)

Nuclear power & fusion is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 51 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2009 and 2026 — 140 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.

Nuclear energy: fission reactors, Chernobyl, Fukushima, nuclear waste, small modular reactors, fusion, ITER, nuclear safety, uranium, energy policy debates about nuclear.

Why HN keeps sending people here — on MIT's Pathway to Fusion Energy (IAP 2017) - Zach Hartwig: “This has been by far the most informative source on Fusion I've seen and gives a clear picture on how to evaluate claims like this.” — an HN commenter, 2022.
