Physics Is Phun!

Abstract

I’m going to start with some physics that I expect you’ll clearly remember from school science. I’m going to use that to explain how a nuclear reactor works, and from that starting point, I’ll be able to describe how to drive one… feel free to skip anything that you’re already familiar with (at your own risk).
