The nuclear misconception spectrum is truly magnificent. The public thinks nuclear plants are just fancy bombs connected to battery cups that power mad scientists creating mushroom clouds. Meanwhile, reality is disappointingly mundane—just water getting spicy hot to spin turbines. Nuclear fission's entire job is basically being an expensive kettle. Thirty years teaching physics and I still can't convince my neighbor that nuclear plants aren't going to suddenly transform his garden into Chernobyl 2.0. But hey, at least we're not burning dinosaur juice anymore!
