Hi Shakhboz,
If you go to ted.com you might be able to download it. I haven't tried.
...
Hi Amin,
I'd write "It's good, interesting practice".

Hi Mh,
I'm glad you got it working.

Hi Simon,
At 15:49 does Mr.Stewart mean with experiences from building nuclear power stations, the number of risks from nuclear weapon is reduced?
Could you give me answer and check my grammar?
Thank you very much.

Hi UT,
Your sentence is fine, and I think you've got the right idea: greater / more controlled use of nuclear power will mean that we know which countries have nuclear materials, and therefore there will be more control of the weapons situation. This seems to be his argument.
...
I'm glad you liked it Raj.
