Title: Nuclear Power Plant PDF
Url: https://esa21.kennesaw.edu/activities/nukeenergy/nukeenergyactivity.pd...
Creator: Pratte, John
Publisher: Kennesaw State University
Description: This lesson introduces students to the basics of nuclear energy production. Topics include radioisotope thermoelectric generators, natural decay of radioactive isotopes, and chain reactions. There is also a discussion of how to control a chain reaction and some concepts of reactor design. The lesson includes an activity in which students operate an online simulation of a nuclear power plant, attempting to keep power output as high as possible without losing control of the reaction.
