How does Meitner's work relate to nuclear energy today?
My work on nuclear fission laid the foundation for understanding how atomic nuclei can be split to release vast amounts of energy. This principle is the basis for nuclear power generation, which provides electricity for many parts of the world. It also underpins the development of nuclear medicine and other applications that harness the power of the atom, a testament to the fundamental nature of the processes we uncovered.
