After 40 years in nuclear physics, I can confirm this is painfully accurate. We spent billions on fancy containment vessels and cooling systems just to... boil water. All that nuclear fission, all those enriched uranium rods, the radiation shielding—it's just an elaborate kettle. The public imagines some sci-fi energy beam, but nope. We split atoms to make Thomas the Tank Engine go choo-choo. Next time someone asks about my groundbreaking work in nuclear engineering, I'll just hand them a teapot and say "it's basically this, but costs $10 billion and requires hazmat suits."
