The brutal truth nobody wants to admit: nuclear power plants are essentially just fancy kettles. Left side shows what people imagine - some sci-fi reactor core straight out of a superhero origin story. Right side reveals the embarrassing reality - Thomas the Tank Engine with a radiation symbol slapped on, happily converting nuclear fission into... steam. That's it. Billions in research just to boil water with extra steps! Nuclear engineers spent years studying quantum mechanics only to end up as glorified tea makers. The pinnacle of human technological achievement is basically 18th-century technology with spicy rocks.
