The purpose of this work is to analyze the conceptual and historical quality of on-line materials from some websites belonging to scientific dissemination magazines, in which the criteria is that created from the review literature relevant to the topic of nuclear energy. To do this, we needed initially, a large literary revision regarding the topic and its nuances, looking for informations about scientists and journalists, providing us an accurate guide on the quality, of the didactic potential and deficiency in disclosure considered scientific research. We also made an investigation about fundamental historical aspects necessary to fomentation that would give us a consolidation on this subject, delimiting between events that led to the discovery of nuclear fission and the production of the first atomic bombs. We delimit our methodology within a qualitative approach, seeking to explore and describe all topics related to this topic, which are published in four magazine websites, Galileu, Superinteressante, Ciência Hoje and Scientific American Brasil. After analyzing strictly the subject of the cited journals, our results point to conceptual and historical errors and corrections, deficiencies in relation to sources from the used research, the need for cooperation between academic and journalistic professionals, fanciful disclosures on the subject, without a total concern about the reader's profile.
