Accompanying the Nuclear: Art & Radioactivity exhibition, the Nuclear Forum was organised by Arts Catalyst and SCAN in partnership with RSA Arts & Ecology.

The forum explored the impact of nuclear power in art and culture. Prominent artists, writers and experts discuss their work and engagement with the issues around nuclear energy, from Hiroshima through the 50s' white heat of technology and the Cold War nuclear tensions to present day energy debates.
