Episode 5 - Alina, 17 y/o, wants us to change the way we use our Nuclear plants!

It is not uncommon for young students to become passionate about particular fields of science, and atomic fusion and fission are both fascinating topics that can capture the imagination of many young learners.

For Alina Liedtke, the passion for atomic fusion and fission may have started with a basic understanding of the structure of atoms and the concept of energy. 

As she delved deeper into the topic, she's been drawn to the intricacies of nuclear fusion and fission reactions, and the incredible amounts of energy that can be released through these processes. 

Perhaps she has even dreamed of a future where humanity harnesses the power of atomic fusion to provide clean, limitless energy for the world?

Or, maybe she has become interested in the ethical considerations surrounding nuclear energy and the potential dangers of atomic weapons.

Whatever the reason for her passion, Alina is part of a long tradition of scientists who have sought to unlock the secrets of the universe and harness the power of the atom. With dedication and hard work, she may one day be able to make her own contributions to this exciting field of study.

Dive into this story with Hanna for this 5th episode of Jonk Fuerscher Voices at the helm, enjoy the journey into the land of atomic energy, and learn about Alina's new project, competing next Month in March!
