Experts, from both the fields of physics and engineering, will engage in a dialogue on the topic of nuclear energy. By discussing the most common opinions regarding this form of energy, analyzing its advantages and disadvantages, they will aim to provide a realistic perspective, supported by scientific data, on how it works, its potential benefits and drawbacks, and its prospects for addressing energy needs and contributing to the energy transition, as part of a broader mix that includes other renewable energy sources.
