課程介紹：
在本系列課程中，圣母院大學(xué)提出了“你會(huì)為什么而奮斗”這一話題，主要圍繞學(xué)生們和教職人員的研究、學(xué)術(shù)成就和社會(huì)行動(dòng)力展開。本片采取紀(jì)錄片形式，采訪了很多不同的人。
學(xué)院介紹：
圣母大學(xué)（University of Notre Dame）創(chuàng)建于1842年，位于美國印第安那州的南灣市，是一所文理兼顧的著名私立大學(xué)。大學(xué)校風(fēng)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、純正，學(xué)生非常熱衷于各項(xiàng)志愿的社會(huì)工作，也有大量學(xué)生加入社會(huì)事務(wù)中心，幫助照顧老人及傷殘人員。

In the rush of my daily routine,it's easy to take for granted the importance of energy.But every second of every day,energy is helping to improve and save lives all over the world.
Unfortunately,as consumption continues to increase and we carry on polluting the environment,we're faced with a grave energy crisis.
There simply isn't enough clean energy to meet the demands of the world today.Nuclear energy has the potential,as a clean energy source,to significantly help solve this problem.Led by Professor Peter Burns,Notre Dame's Energy Frontier Research Center is laying the scientific foundation for converting nuclear waste into clean energy through the study of uranium mineralogy and environmental chemistry.
Dr. Burns has discovered a new class of particles that no one knew existed before and it has important implication for the reprocessing of spent fuel,the disposal of radioactive waste and for the future of nuclear power.

日常生活中，我們很容易把能源看做理所當(dāng)然。但每一秒，能源都發(fā)揮著巨大作用。
不幸的是能源消耗日益增多，我們繼續(xù)污染環(huán)境。面臨嚴(yán)重的污染問題。
能源不足以滿足現(xiàn)在的需求。核能有這種潛能，作為清潔能源，能有效改善。在皮特教授領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下，諾特丹能源中心為把核廢棄物轉(zhuǎn)化為能源打下重要基礎(chǔ)，通過研究鈾礦和環(huán)境化學(xué)。
本司教授發(fā)現(xiàn)了人們所不知道的一些新物質(zhì)，他們對(duì)燃料再利用放射物處理和核能開發(fā)有重大意義。
