The U.S. Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) currently has several interesting shows online related to atomic energy.

"Uranium – Twisting the Dragon’s Tail: Part 1"
Born from the collapse of a star, uranium has brought hope, progress and destruction. It has revolutionized society, from medicine to warfare. It is an element that has profoundly shaped the past, will change the future and will exist long after humans have left the Earth.

"Uranium – Twisting the Dragon’s Tail: Part 2"
Host and physicist Dr. Derek Muller unlocks the mysteries of uranium, one of the Earth’s most controversial elements.

Born from the collapse of a star, uranium has brought hope, progress and destruction.
Derek Muller is the fellow who does the youtube Veritasium videos, btw.

"THE BOMB"
A powerful story of the most destructive invention in human history, outlining how America developed the nuclear bomb, how it changed the world and how it continues to loom large in our lives. Witness the raw power and strangely compelling beauty of rare views of above-ground nuclear tests.

Edit: changed "System" to "Service"
I don't believe in conspiracies!
I prefer working alone.
