The video tutorial explains a radioactive decay simulation created in Scratch. It covers how the simulation works, focusing on the Scratch code that simulates the decay process by using random numbers to determine when isotopes decay. The tutorial also demonstrates how to adjust the probability of decay and observe the effects on the simulation. Additionally, it describes the use of sprites and costumes to visually represent isotopes and the decay process.
