The English version of the comic book Operation Yellow Cake is now available!
We are thrilled to announce that nine years after its original release, our unique educational comic book Operacja Yellow Cake is now available in English as Operation Yellow Cake! The publication was initiated by the FORUM ATOMOWE Foundation in cooperation with Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe – the company responsible for building the first nuclear power plant in Poland.
The comic tells an action-packed story of young protagonists who embark on a journey through the world of nuclear physics, discovering the secrets of radioactivity, reactor operation, and energy production. Operation Yellow Cake combines dynamic storytelling with scientific content — a format still all too rare in technical education.
Pop culture meets education? Absolutely!
In a world dominated by fast-paced content and visual media, traditional teaching methods are increasingly challenged by multimedia, games, and social platforms. That’s why comic books – as educational tools – are gaining importance. They present complex concepts in an engaging and accessible way, speaking the language of younger generations and embedding knowledge within emotionally engaging storylines.
Despite its crucial role in the future of global energy, nuclear power is still often viewed as a difficult, technical, and even controversial subject. Operation Yellow Cake breaks that mold — introducing readers to the fundamentals of nuclear physics, radiation, and safety in an approachable and friendly way. With a glossary, puzzles, and interactive tasks, the publication not only entertains but also educates.
About the creators
The script was written by Łukasz Koszuk, president of the FORUM ATOMOWE Foundation and a long-time advocate for nuclear education in Poland. The illustrations were created by the Art of Colours team: Krzysztof Kałucki, Sebastian Szpakowski, Marta Danecka, and Milena Molenda. Their work gives the comic its distinctive visual identity — inspired by classic educational comics, yet fresh and appealing to modern readers.
The English translation was prepared by Michał Kurpiński from the Translation Office of Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe, preserving both the scientific accuracy and the light tone of the original text.
A new approach to nuclear education
Operation Yellow Cake responds to the growing demand for modern education in science and energy. It’s a resource that can be successfully used in schools, libraries, science centers, and by educators and science enthusiasts around the world.
Thanks to the English edition, the comic is now opening up to new audiences and international communities, helping to promote a fact-based, positive image of nuclear energy in the global conversation.
The comic is available for free in digital format.
