Perception of Risk - a LOL science special

LOL science

In this episode we discuss a new breed of Nuclear Power station, this type of power station could in theory operate for hundreds of years and even use its own nuclear waste as fuel. Nuclear Power is a controversial issue and many perceive associated risks to be higher than the reality, so in this episode we also explore the science of risk and the differences between perceived risk and actual risk. *This podcast may have audio issues regarding the volume of the presenters, we apologise for this unexpected post production issue; we especially recommend the use of headphones for this podcast.
