Theory of Knowledge Connections
The use of nuclear energy inspires a range of emotional responses from scientists and society. How can accurate scientific risk assessments be undertaken in emotionally charged areas?
Nature of Science
Since early times mankind understood the vital role of harnessing energy and large-scale production of electricity has impacted all levels of society. Processes where energy is transformed require holistic approaches that involve many areas of knowledge. Research and development of alternative energy sources has lacked support in some countries for economic and political reasons. Scientists, however, have continued tp collaborate and share new technologies that can reduce our dependence on non-renewable sources.
