While The Simpsons reigns as America's longest-running animated series, and remains a favorite for many today, it has also played a significant role in shaping the public perception of nuclear energy—often in comical and exaggerated ways.

A new video released by the American Nuclear Society breaks down some of the cartoon’s most outlandish misrepresentations.

Kaylee Cunningham, a Ph.D. student at the University of Florida who is also known as “Ms. Nuclear Energy” on TikTok, sets the record straight on some of the zaniest nuclear energy moments from the show, from eating green nuclear waste, to storing capsules in tree trunks. Access the video on YouTube.
